Multicoin Executive: The GENIUS Act Will End Banks’ Exploitation of Depositors with Low Interest Rates
PANews, October 6—Tushar Jain, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital, predicts that the introduction of the GENIUS Act will trigger a competitive transformation in the retail banking industry, completely ending the traditional banks’ “exploitation” of depositors by paying meager interest. He believes that major tech companies such as Meta, Google, and Apple will leverage their vast distribution networks to launch stablecoin products offering higher yields, embedding features like instant settlement, 24/7 payments, and free transfers, thereby directly challenging the retail deposit market of traditional banks. Although the banking industry is actively lobbying to prevent stablecoin platforms from offering competitive yields, Jain points out that regulations prohibiting the payment of interest to stablecoin holders are “easily circumvented,” and that depositors “deserve returns closer to market rates.” Currently, the average interest rate on U.S. savings deposits is only 0.40%, with trillions of dollars in deposits even earning zero interest, highlighting the necessity for new competition.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
