As the Senate considers legislation to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets markets, the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today is calling on lawmakers to ensure the legislation prohibits digital asset exchanges and affiliates from paying interest or yield to payment stablecoin holders.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council announced that the second version of the 2025 Community Reinvestment Act Data Entry Software Release is now available on the FFIEC CRA website.

ICBA commended the FDIC and OCC for issuing proposed rules to prohibit the use of reputation risk by regulators and to revise the supervisory framework for “unsafe or unsound” banking practices.
