Cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett reports that several figures in the crypto industry have publicly defended Patrick Witt and the White House's stance following anonymous claims of pessimism regarding stablecoin yield negotiations. According to ChainCatcher, a banking industry insider directly familiar with the negotiations stated that representatives from ABABankers, ICBA, and the Bank Policy Institute, who attended a White House meeting last week, were confused by the anonymous claims and disagreed with the perspective. They have communicated their concerns to the White House.
The insider also noted that both parties are still in ongoing discussions about the bill's text, and the March 1 deadline is not a definitive cutoff date.
