Why I’m looking at Coinbase while the market is "Scared."

The recent draft language in the Clarity Act and GENIUS Act has investors spooked. Traditional banks are lobbying hard to stop stablecoins from paying yield to users, desperate to protect their own deposits and the enormously profitable business of making loans with virtually free money that they pay no interest on.

But here’s the contrarian take: This legislation might actually accelerate payment adoption and help accelerate what stablecoins where actually built for. If Coinbase can’t pay you to hold USDC, they might just end up paying you to spend it, much like credit card rewards. This pivots the business model from "passive savings" to "active global payments," opening up a $5 trillion daily market currently dominated by SWIFT.

Is this a setback or a massive structural catalyst? My full analysis here:
