Labor Unions Oppose Senate Crypto Bill Ahead of Thursday Committee Markup
Five major unions say the bill could expose millions of workers’ retirement accounts to crypto volatility before a Senate Banking Committee vote Thursday.
- Five of the nation's largest labor organizations, including The AFL-CIO, The SEIU, AFT, NEA, and AFSCME, are urging the Senate Banking Committee to reject a crypto bill scheduled for a Thursday vote.
- In a letter sent Friday, the coalition warned the Clarity Act "jeopardizes the stability of workers' retirement plans, including public pensions, and introduces significant volatility to retirement savings accounts."
- The American Bankers Association also opposes the bill; ABA CEO Rob Nichols said in a May 10 letter that stablecoin yield provisions would "unnecessarily incentivize the flight of bank deposits."
- Michael Saylor expressed support for the bill, writing that it "recognizes activity-based rewards tied to payment stablecoins and distributed ledger participation as critical to enabling innovation."
- Legislative text for the Clarity Act remained unreleased as of Monday evening, leaving final bill details uncertain just two days before the Senate Banking Committee's scheduled markup.
