This marks the first coordinated attempt by traditional banking institutions to prevent decentralized finance from creating alternative interest-bearing instruments through regulatory gaps. The GENIUS Act's current structure reveals an unprecedented vulnerability where digital assets could establish parallel financial systems beyond traditional banking control - exactly the type of system needed for a future global economic control mechanism.
US Banks Battle Stablecoin Interest Loophole in GENIUS Act Reform
📰 What Happened
Leading US banking groups including the Bank Policy Institute (BPI) have petitioned Congress to modify the GENIUS Act, warning of potential loopholes allowing stablecoin issuers to offer indirect interest through crypto exchanges. The August 2025 letter, co-signed by multiple banking associations, specifically targets provisions that currently don't extend to crypto exchanges and allied services, which could enable issuers to bypass interest payment restrictions through partnership arrangements.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of traditional banks actively fighting against decentralized financial innovations while simultaneously pushing for digital currency control creates a prophetic paradox. This aligns with three emerging trends: 1) The BPI's push for expanded restrictions shows how central authorities are moving to control all forms of digital value, 2) The focus on closing 'proxy interest' loopholes demonstrates how sophisticated financial workarounds are becoming, and 3) The coordination between multiple banking lobbies reveals the consolidation of financial power structures. These developments accelerate both the technology and regulatory framework needed for a unified economic control system.
