Why banks and offshore hubs like Dubai are winners of the Senate killing the Clarity Act

60-second summary

The Senate’s defeat of the Clarity Act benefits banks that oppose stable‑coin yield products and also favors offshore hubs such as Dubai, according to an industry expert and a global crypto lawyer. By blocking U.S. regulatory clarity, banks avoid tighter oversight on tokenized deposits, while foreign jurisdictions attract crypto projects seeking lenient frameworks, boosting their financial‑services market share.

One expert believes that the failure to pass the bill is a win for the banks that staunchly oppose stablecoin yields, while a global crypto lawyer believes overseas jurisdictions benefit.
