**[Coinbase Pressures U.S. Congress, Stablecoin Rewards Clause Becomes Legislative Controversy Focus]** Coinbase is intensifying its lobbying efforts with U.S. lawmakers, aiming to retain its ability to offer rewards to stablecoin holders. The company is concerned that if restrictive clauses are included in the cryptocurrency bill unveiled on Monday, its related business operations could be threatened. According to sources familiar with the matter, if the bill includes restrictions beyond enhanced reward disclosure requirements, Coinbase may reconsider its support for the Digital Asset Market Structure Bill, which is expected to be reviewed by the Senate committee on Thursday. The current proposal may limit reward capabilities to regulated financial institutions, a suggestion supported by some in the banking industry who believe that interest-bearing stablecoin accounts could divert deposits from traditional banks. Coinbase has applied for a national trust license and plans to offer rewards within a compliance framework, but crypto companies generally prefer to retain reward models that do not require a trust license. They warn that stricter restrictions could negatively impact the competitive environment of the industry. The specific wording of the bill remains unclear, but the rewards clause has already weakened bipartisan support for the market structure bill, potentially delaying its passage. A potential compromise could involve allowing only institutions with banking licenses to offer rewards. Recently, five crypto companies received conditional approval from the U.S. OCC to become national trust banks, and a bill permitting trust-licensed companies to offer rewards might alleviate some concerns within the crypto industry. Industry insiders caution that if restrictions are implemented, crypto companies may seek alternative ways to reward users.
