Shares of major cryptocurrency firms faced significant selling pressure following reports of a US legislative proposal targeting stablecoins. Circle Internet Group (CRCL) saw its stock price tumble by 16%, while Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) shares declined by 7% in response to the news. The proposed rules aim to prohibit platforms from offering yield or interest on stablecoins, whether through direct or indirect mechanisms. Under the draft legislation, stablecoins would be strictly differentiated from traditional bank deposits to ensure clearer regulatory boundaries. This move poses a substantial threat to the revenue models of these companies, as yield-bearing products are key drivers of growth and user engagement. The double-digit drop in Circle's valuation highlights the market's sensitivity to regulatory shifts that could fundamentally alter the crypto landscape.
