🏛 Recent White House Meetings:
A third round of talks was held on Feb 19, 2026 with banking and crypto leaders — described as “constructive” but no final deal yet.
Officials continue to negotiate how stablecoin reward structures should be regulated as part of broader crypto law discussions like the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.
🔍 What’s Being Debated:
Whether stablecoin yields should be allowed at all
If allowed, what types of rewards qualify — e.g., rewards tied to certain actions vs. idle holding
How to protect bank deposits and ensure financial stability without stifling innovation
