The most likely outcome will be an increase of bank characters, as that appears to be the only way around the new system.
Assuming this would increase trade is all fine well and good, if we had a trading system.
What a clan wants to do with the items they find...is up to the clan.
slight worry - if it was done to lessen DB load...the system is flawed. It runs along the same lines as...WHY? does the forum go offline when the game servers are being updated...I can only infer that its on the same server...and if its on the same server how much else is?...all the worlds?
Players will find a work around for this that suits the players....this probably wont suit NGD.....hopefully NGD will listen to the players at some point.

We did get character stashes, and then account stashes pretty quickly after that, maybe clan stashes are on their way.
Maybe the character item limit was to help with the item duping situation, and just inadvertently broke clan bank characters, and it has nothing to do with clan banks.
Maybe this is an attempt to shake loose some of the dusty old items mouldering away in the bottom of clan mules before they all get dumped into the shiny new clan stashes.
We won't know until we find out.
Players
will find workarounds, hawking their wares on realm chat, setting up websites to facilitate trades, and using alts as clan banks. The last is the only one that really breaks the official rules (the others are just inefficient and annoying compared to a true in-game system) - maybe NGD is willing to look the other way until the real thing gets finished, then we'll suddenly see a lot of characters with the last name of 'Bank' running around the wz with really uber items.
