Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he is "very supportive of moving the CLARITY Act forward," in comments to Politico, as Senate Republicans circulate updated bill text ahead of a potential floor vote next week. The position sets Goldman Sachs apart from much of the banking industry.
This week, six major banking trade groups—including the American Bankers Association—warned that the bill's stablecoin yield provisions could pull funds out of insured deposits and tighten credit availability for local lending. Separately, seven Senate Democrats rejected the revised text within a day, arguing that the updated ethics language still does not go far enough.
