At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the crypto community and political figures had a tête-à-tête. What was originally a discussion about blockchain infrastructure turned into a heated debate over stablecoins, Bitcoin, and US regulation.
The focus centered on the issue of stablecoin yields. A seemingly simple topic—whether stablecoin holders should earn interest—triggered a chain reaction, even influencing the legislative process of the US CLARITY Act in the Senate.
A leader from a major exchange openly stated at the forum: "Stablecoin yield payments are a consumer rights issue and also a matter of global competitiveness." His logic was straightforward—first, putting more money into holders' pockets and allowing funds to generate returns is common sense; second, from an international competition perspective. China's central bank digital currency has already announced it will pay interest, and offshore stablecoins have been doing this for a while. If stablecoins under US regulation are banned from offering yields, it will only hand the market over to offshore competitors.
This statement hit a real dilemma: the US is setting the rules, but the actual flow of funds may have already moved overseas.

The US is playing chess with itself again. Once this regulatory framework is out, the funds will have already moved to Singapore, haha.

It's the same old "competitiveness" rhetoric again... If the US really bans it, the funds will have already fled, this logic makes perfect sense.

Here we go again with this routine. The US sets the rules, and others have already run away long ago. We've seen this script many times.

This is a typical case of "regulatory vacuum syndrome"—medical records show that here in the U.S., there's still debate over whether stablecoins should generate yields, but the money has already flowed overseas.
