Circle shares slumped on Tuesday (nearly 20%) after U.S. lawmakers advanced 
the Clarity Act. This decline has been linked to the Clarity Act draft 
language that suggests it would curb interest paid on crypto stablecoin 
holdings. Related Reading: 3 Big Hyperliquid News You Might Have Missed This 
Week A Key Crypto-Basics Misunderstanding The reason of the sudden drop? The 
market is misunderstanding the legislation, analyst Gautam Chhugani and his 
three Bernstein colleagues said in an investor note shared with DL News. “The 
market is conflating who earns yield with who distributes yield”, they said. 
It is no secret that the market is moved by the heightened emotional responses 
of investors, reacting to real world events such as a geopolitical crisis or a 
change in the legislation that could affect their positions. However, 
investors would do well going back to the fundamentals and revisiting the 
basic mechanics at play before getting swept up in Clarity‑Act panic. A 
stablecoin issuer and a stablecoin distributer are not the same thing: a 
stablecoin issuer is the entity that creates the token and manages the 
reserves behind it, while a stablecoin distributor is the platform or 
intermediary that gets that token into users’ hands and often hosts their 
balances. Circle is the company that issues the USDC, not the one that 
distributes it: that’s what platforms such as Coinbase do. Today&#8217;s chart shows 
Circle shares slightly recovered after briefly dropping under $100 on Tuesday. 
Source: TradingView The Clarity Act’s language specifies supervision on how 
crypto tokens are circulated and distributed, not on the entities that create 
or issue them. This means lawmakers are focusing on the activities around 
moving stablecoins to end users, such as platforms offering them, 
intermediaries marketing yield, and programs that pay interest on balances, 
rather than directly imposing new rules on the companies that mint the tokens 
and manage reserves. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds $70K – Is The High‑Beta 
Era Over? Stablecoins: A Central Pillar It is worth noting that investor’s 
anxiety over the U.S. stablecoin policy and how regulators might treat 
centralized issuers post-election is justified. The stablecoin sector has 
become a central pillar of crypto liquidity: in 2025, dollar‑pegged tokens 
settled over 30 trillion dollars on‑chain, and USDC alone processed roughly 18 
trillion dollars in transactions —close to half of all stablecoin volume 
despite representing under a third of total supply. Circle’s own and 
third‑party estimates say USDC’s share of total stablecoin transaction volume 
was around 45–50% in late 2025, even though its circulation was under 
one‑third of total stablecoin supply. If Bernstein’s view holds, Circle- 
related assets might see a rebound as regulatory clarity improves. BTC&#8217;s price 
is on the highs $71k on the daily chart. Source: BTCUSDC on Tradingview Cover
