What this amendment would do

This amendment would change section 4(a) of the bill to prohibit certain payments.

  • It would prevent any permitted payment stablecoin issuer, foreign payment stablecoin issuer, or their affiliate from paying any form of interest or yield to a holder.

  • This prohibition covers payments made in cash, tokens, rewards, or other consideration related to holding, using, or retaining a payment stablecoin.

  • The primary Federal payment stablecoin regulators would create rules to implement this prohibition.

  • These rules must include the identification of activities or transactions that fall outside the scope of the prohibition.
