Punchbowl News said the objections center on how stablecoin yield provisions could affect the banking system, adding to doubts about the bill’s path to passage.

The objections focus on the potential effect of allowing yield on stablecoins on the banking system, according to Punchbowl News. The latest pushback suggests resistance is widening within Republican ranks, an important signal for crypto legislation because internal party defections can complicate passage even when a bill has broader industry backing.
