Summary
Business, Dimon said he is unhappy with how the Clarity Act, legislation designed to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets, is currently written. "It allows cryptocurrency firms to effectively pay interest on deposits, stablecoins or something like that, without the protection that they should have," Dimon said, arguing that the Clarity Act also fails to adequately address Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). The Clarity Act "has almost no legal protections. so the banks will not accept it that way," he said. Banks and the crypto industry have been at odds for weeks over whether the legislation should permit crypto firms such as Coinbase to reward customers for holding stablecoins.
