For those trading over $100 million, maker fees drop to 0.02% and taker fees to 0.04%.

Stablecoin Yield Restrictions Block the Path to Crypto's Federal Regulatory Framework

Institutional capital inflows may remain stalled by a legislative stalemate over stablecoin returns. The U.S. Senate Banking Committee postponed January deliberations on the CLARITY Act, a bill intended to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. The postponement was driven by disagreements over provisions that would restrict stablecoin issuers from offering returns to users. Coinbase and other cryptocurrency companies oppose these restrictions, arguing that the rules would favor traditional banks. The bill would establish a clear division of jurisdiction between the SEC and the CFTC, assigning the SEC to regulate assets classified as securities and the CFTC to regulate those regulate assets classified as commodities. This framework would allow projects to transition from the SEC's jurisdiction as securities during fundraising and to the CFTC's jurisdiction as commodities as they decentralize. The lack of a legislative breakthrough on stablecoin yields prevents the bill from becoming law.

While the service is integrated into the platform's existing brokerage, banking, and research infrastructure, it is available only in all US states except New York and Louisiana. Crypto holdings within these accounts are not eligible for SIPC or FDIC insurance, and clients cannot deposit BTC or ETH from external wallets.
