The GENIUS Act and the "Yield Loophole"
The GENIUS Act was designed to prevent this disruption by categorizing stable coins strictly as payment instruments. To do this, it mandated 1:1 reserves and explicitly prohibited issuers from paying interest directly to holders. However, a significant legislative loophole has emerged:
The Mechanism: While the issuer (like Circle) cannot pay interest, the act does not explicitly stop third-party distributors (like Coinbase or Kraken) from passing through revenue generated by those Treasury reserves to their users.
The Result: Exchanges are currently offering 4–5% APY on stable coin holdings. For the average consumer, these digital assets effectively function as high-yield savings accounts, bypassing the spirit of the regulation while adhering to its letter.
