Citibank stated that the restrictions on the stablecoin reward mechanism in the U.S. CLARITY Act draft may pose temporary resistance to Circle (CRCL), but will not shake its long-term investment logic.Analysts pointed out that this policy is more likely to affect the pace of scale expansion rather than pose a fundamental threat. The bill aims to limit stablecoin earnings similar to deposit interest, but allows incentive mechanisms related to transactions or payments. Since Circle itself does not directly pay earnings to USDC holders but distributes reserve earnings to partners like Coinbase, its core revenue model will not be directly impacted. Citibank believes that the reduction in rewards may weaken users' short-term motivation to hold USDC, thereby affecting circulation scale and secondary market liquidity, but the key indicators for stablecoin adoption still lie in transaction and payment volumes, rather than circulation volume itself. Previously, due to policy uncertainty, Circle's stock price once fell by about 20%. However, institutions including Bernstein believe that the market may have misinterpreted the policy impact, with regulatory focus on limiting platforms that distribute earnings to users (such as Coinbase), rather than Circle's reserve earnings model.

On Tuesday morning, US stocks saw the issuer of USDC, Circle (CRCL), drop by as much as 18%, while the crypto platform Coinbase (COIN) fell by about 8%. CoinDesk reported that the latest draft of the U.S. Clarity Act aims to restrict rewards on stablecoin balances, including prohibiting rewards for passive stablecoin balances and banning structures that are "economically equivalent to interest."Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev stated that the draft may prohibit payments of earnings solely for holding stablecoins and limit any practices that make the program equivalent to bank deposits in any way. The report mentioned that the GENIUS Act previously prohibited issuers from directly paying earnings to users, but issuers and platforms arranged rewards through methods such as distributing earnings from reserve assets; among them, Circle earns interest on the assets backing USDC and shares it with Coinbase, which uses this to provide rewards to users.Keyrock digital asset researcher Amir Hajian noted that the latest draft of the Clarity Act points to the aforementioned "earnings penetration" model by prohibiting arrangements that are "economically equivalent to interest." Additionally, USDT issuer Tether announced that it has hired one of the "Big Four" accounting firms to conduct a comprehensive audit of its USDT reserves. The report also pointed out that this drop occurred after Circle's stock price had risen by 170% since early February, with Clear Street analyst Owen Lau suggesting that the market reaction may be excessive; market participants are also factoring in expectations of interest rate hikes.
