Coinbase Opposes Banking Groups' Effort to Expand Stablecoin Interest Ban to Third-Party Rewards

Coinbase has challenged banking associations seeking to broaden the GENIUS Act's interest prohibition to cover merchant discounts and third-party rewards linked to stablecoin payments. Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said on November 13, 2025, that Congress intended the Act to ban only issuer-paid interest, not benefits from external parties. The American Bankers Association and 52 state groups had urged Treasury on November 4, 2025, to treat any economic benefit tied to stablecoin holdings as prohibited interest.
