Which raises an interesting question: If AI represents today\u2019s technological arms race, could stablecoins be playing a similar role in the financial system?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The stablecoin race moves from debate to policy\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For years, FUD around stablecoins has slowed adoption among TradFi institutions. More recently, concerns have shifted toward the potential impact of \u201cyield-bearing\u201d stablecoins, with some analysts warning they could disrupt core banking models. One such warning came from Jeremy Barnum, CFO of JPMorgan Chase, who flagged the risks associated with allowing stablecoins to offer yield. According to him,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creation of a parallel banking system that&#8230; has all the features of banking, including something that looks a lot like a deposit that pays interest, without&#8230; the associated prudential safeguards that have been developed over hundreds of years of bank regulation, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is an obviously dangerous and undesirable thing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against this backdrop<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, expecting the CLARITY Act to pass seemed unlikely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet market positioning suggests otherwise. The probability of the Act becoming law in 2026 recently climbed above 75% on Polymarket, signaling growing confidence among market participants. This raises a key question: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If leading TradFi voices remain wary of yield\u2011bearing stablecoins, why is the market increasingly pricing in regulatory approval?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_597650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-597650\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-2-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-597650 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-2-2.png\" alt=\"CLARITY ACT\" width=\"680\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-2-2.png 680w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-2-2-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-597650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Polymarket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to AMBCrypto, the passage may not simply reflect market expectations but rather a \u201cstrategic\u201d inevitability shaped by global competition. Stablecoins, in this view, are increasingly positioned as the \u201cequivalent\u201d of the AI race, with major implications for both institutional investors and TradFi players.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stablecoin growth is just getting started\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To gauge the future of the stablecoin market, it helps to first assess its current state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. dollar\u2011denominated stablecoins now hold a record $320 billion in market capitalization, accounting for about 12% of the $3 trillion crypto ecosystem. Looking ahead, JPMorgan Global Research projects the market could expand to between $500 billion and $750 billion. What underpins this growth? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key factor is usage growth. Stablecoin transaction volumes surged past $800 billion in 2025, highlighting adoption across payments and on-chain financial activity. However, a recent report from Chainalysis suggests the growth trajectory could be far more significant. As the chart below shows, stablecoin volume is projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035, implying a 90,000% increase in activity over the next decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_597652\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-597652\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-597652 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2-1.png\" alt=\"stablecoins\" width=\"680\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2-1.png 680w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2-1-300x254.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-597652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Chainalysis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With projections of this magnitude entering the conversation, it\u2019s no surprise that more TradFi players are moving to launch their own stablecoins. Fidelity Investments, for example, recently introduced the FIDD stablecoin, describing it as a continuation of the firm\u2019s long-term commitment to digital assets:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>FIDD is the next step in Fidelity Investments\u2019 10+ year commitment to the digital assets ecosystem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key takeaway here is the \u201c10-year commitment.\u201d When viewed alongside Chainalysis projections, it&#8217;s clear that major TradFi players are positioning early for what they see as a long-term shift. A closer look, however, shows that this momentum isn\u2019t limited to the United States. Against that backdrop, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the passage of the CLARITY Act therefore looks less like a question of \u201cif\u201d and more a question of \u201cwhen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stablecoins enter the global competition phase<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competition in stablecoins is starting to look unavoidable as both DeFi and TradFi players move in at scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the infrastructure level, there\u2019s already increasing competition among L1s adapting to this shift. <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/coins\/solana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solana [SOL]<\/a>, for instance, processed a record $650 billion in stablecoin transactions in February 2026. The surge in volume comes alongside growing activity from new entrants like Western Union with its USDPT initiative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the competition doesn\u2019t stop there. Stablecoin momentum outside the United States is also clearly accelerating. A recent report from the European Central Bank highlighted the growing expansion of stablecoins across Europe, framing it increasingly as a necessity rather than a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The core argument is that, to remain relevant, Europe must respond by promoting euro-denominated stablecoins of its own. Otherwise, it faces a future of digital dollarization and loss of monetary sovereignty.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key takeaway? The report points to U.S. regulatory momentum, particularly around the CLARITY Act, as a key driver of this urgency. The logic is simple: Clearer regulation reinforces expectations that the U.S. dollar will remain dominant in the stablecoin era. In that light, passing the act looks more like a strategic move to position the United States as the global crypto capital amid intensifying international competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_597793\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-597793\" style=\"width: 1181px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-12-235450.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-597793 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-12-235450.png\" alt=\"Europe\" width=\"1181\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-12-235450.png 1181w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-12-235450-300x98.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-12-235450-1024x334.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-12-235450-768x250.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-597793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: European Central Bank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>The institutionalization layer begins here\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strict regulation is often the first step toward building trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the CLARITY Act comes in. The bill aims to bring crypto exchanges under stricter oversight by requiring anti-money-laundering compliance, similar to standards followed by banks. If enacted, it would naturally give the United States a strategic advantage in the rapidly expanding stablecoin race, helping explain why President Donald Trump has repeatedly voiced support for the legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As President Trump framed it:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The banks are hitting record profits, and we are not going to allow them to undermine our powerful crypto agenda that could otherwise move to China if we don\u2019t get the CLARITY Act taken care of. The GENIUS Act was the U.S.\u2019 first big step toward making America the crypto capital of the world, and getting the CLARITY Act done is the next step in finishing the job<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taken together, massive stablecoin growth projections and rising global competition suggest the United States is actively positioning itself to lead the next phase of digital finance. Much like the AI race, stablecoins are therefore starting to resemble a new financial arms race between major economies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The implication is clear: the passing of the CLARITY Act looks inevitable rather than optional. Consequently, it could become a turning point for crypto markets, similar to the impact of ETFs in 2024, but potentially on a much larger scale, as it would position the U.S. at the forefront of becoming the global crypto capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Final Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li data-section-id=\"f6yu8n\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"116\"><em>The U.S. crypto capital push is turning stablecoins into a global race, making the CLARITY Act look inevitable.<\/em><\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"127qpfi\" data-start=\"118\" data-end=\"303\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><em>Strong stablecoin growth and rising European competition are driving regulation and institutionalization, setting up a 2024-style turning point for crypto markets.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is stablecoin regulation, rather than technology, defining the next phase of crypto?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":597799,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108,44,66,3,4,5825,20],"tags":[6427],"class_list":["post-597517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-commentary","category-global-news","category-new-news","category-news","category-social","category-stablecoins","category-trading-view","tag-ambcrypto"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>America\u2019s stablecoin push goes beyond crypto - The CLARITY Act explains why - AMBCrypto<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Stablecoins are becoming a geopolitical race as U.S. crypto ambitions, and global competition push the CLARITY Act toward inevitability.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/americas-stablecoin-push-goes-beyond-crypto-the-clarity-act-explains-why\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"America\u2019s stablecoin push goes beyond crypto - The CLARITY Act explains why - AMBCrypto\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Is stablecoin regulation, rather than technology, defining the next phase of crypto?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/americas-stablecoin-push-goes-beyond-crypto-the-clarity-act-explains-why\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AMBCrypto\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cryptoamb\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-05-18T04:00:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ritika-2-7-e1778611398488.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ritika Gupta\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@https:\/\/x.com\/ritz1462\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@CryptoAmb\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Ritika Gupta\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"ReportageNewsArticle\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ambcrypto.com\\\/americas-stablecoin-push-goes-beyond-crypto-the-clarity-act-explains-why\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ambcrypto.com\\\/americas-stablecoin-push-goes-beyond-crypto-the-clarity-act-explains-why\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Ritika Gupta\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ambcrypto.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/96bf5310c15a47d22e470ff5b21ed082\"},\"headline\":\"America\u2019s stablecoin push goes beyond crypto &#8211;
