White House Holds Third Crypto Meeting as Stablecoin Yield Deadline Nears

Published at 2026-02-23 01:45:07

Officials from the White House and senior figures in the crypto industry met for a third time this week, with participants saying negotiations are converging on a package of stablecoin rules and broader market‑structure changes. Tensions remain highest around proposed restrictions on yield-bearing stablecoin products, but sources describe the talks as constructive and inching toward compromise that could be formalized before the incoming deadline.

If finalized, the agreement would be a significant step toward legal certainty for issuers, exchanges and decentralized finance platforms, potentially unlocking more mainstream use while tightening consumer protections and oversight. Markets and policymakers will be watching the final text closely—any balance struck between innovation and risk control will shape U.S. digital asset policy and the future of crypto yield products.
