Can a trading platform like Coinbase, where people hold their crypto, offer you a reward or interest for keeping your stable coins with them?
Banks say no, and they want a law that says that.
The fear is that money would leave depository institutions.
Rob Nichols is president of the American Bankers Association.
Why keep your money in a bank if you can get a higher reward stashing it as stable coins?
Crypto firms don't buy that.
Buying neither side's arguments is Aaron Klein, senior fellow at Brookings.
But he is still wary of interest on stablecoins.
When a bank makes loans that go bad, customers don't have to worry because the federal government insures their deposits.
Stablecoins offer no such assurance.
Crypto advocates counter that stablecoins are backed by treasuries and wouldn't pose any risk.
But everyone is now making their case to Congress in hopes of a law that will favor them.
In New York, I'm Sabri Beneshour for Marketplace.
About a week ago, one loses track to be honest, President Trump said he's going to order the government-owned mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion worth of mortgage-backed securities.
The president says that'll push mortgage rates down.
And indeed, in the time since, average rates on 30-year fixed mortgages have ticked slightly lower.
That's according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Although, to be clear, they had been trending down before the president's announcement, too.
Nonetheless, Marketplace's Justin Ho looked into how mortgages become mortgage bonds and what will happen if Fannie and Freddie do wind up buying $200 billion worth of them.
Mortgage bonds start with mortgages.
