Crypto executive says community banks and digital asset firms align on CLARITY Act over big banks

Crypto executive Austin Campbell argued that community banks and the crypto sector should align on the US CLARITY Act or risk conceding advantages to large banks. Responding to community banking leader Christopher Williston, Campbell claimed stablecoins could help address technological and regulatory challenges for smaller lenders, while critics warn the bill could draw deposits away from traditional banks. Members of the Trump family also weighed in, with Eric Trump criticizing major banks and President Donald Trump urging the market-structure bill to be passed quickly.
