The Biggest Banking Change in 100 Years is About to Hit Your Wallet

Summary

The Clarity Act is poised to trigger a massive capital shift out of traditional banks and into stablecoins and tokenized assets like gold. This legislation requires stablecoin issuers to hold full reserves, but prohibits them from paying direct yield, creating an incentive for users to move funds to decentralized finance platforms where higher yields are available. This could lead to a bank run, as consumers have never before had the choice to easily hold and earn yield on alternative currencies. The combination of crypto's instant transfer capabilities with gold's store-of-value properties is creating the world's ultimate currency, as fiat currencies continue to devalue.
