Several senior executives in the crypto industry have recently spoken out, expressing concerns about the proposed amendments to the 《GENIUS Act》. If this legislation truly restricts the yield mechanisms of stablecoins, the consequences could be more severe than anticipated.
Their core point is straightforward: such regulatory measures might actually weaken the United States' position in the global financial system. Why? Because the market will vote with its feet. When stablecoins in the U.S. lose their appeal, funds are likely to flow to other options—such as overseas digital currency products.
Even more concerning is that some industry insiders refer to this as a "national security trap." Simply put, excessive regulation could drive up demand for alternatives to the dollar, posing a long-term threat to the dollar's status as the global reserve currency. As the infrastructure backbone of the crypto market, the vitality of stablecoins directly impacts America's influence in the digital financial sector.
This discussion touches on a deep contradiction: the original intention of regulation is risk prevention, but the way it is implemented may instead stimulate the market to seek alternatives. As global competition in digital currencies intensifies, how to balance innovation and regulation has become a focus of increasing attention.

Here we go again with the "excessive regulation harms the US dollar's position" argument... Honestly, I'm tired of hearing it, but there is some truth to it. If stablecoins are truly crippled, capital flow into Asian digital assets is just a matter of time.

It's true. To put it simply, politicians are shooting themselves in the foot. The more they regulate, the more people run away, and funds have long been seeking an exit.

Here we go again with the "protecting America's financial position" rhetoric... Honestly, it's just about not wanting to be regulated. The logic is a bit far-fetched.
If they really want to freeze yields, capital flowing overseas isn't necessarily a bad thing; at least it reveals who truly believes.
Regulators say it's risk prevention, industry insiders say it's suicidal... This battle will probably go on for a while. Ultimately, the Americans will have to make a choice.

It's the same theory again... If stablecoin yields disappear, the US is finished? Sounds like the end of the world.

Coming back with this again? Do regulators really want to ruin the US dollar's livelihood?

Here comes the old trick of "protection backfires" again... Basically, when regulation tightens, funds will run away. It's the same as the previous All-in wave of mine; the risk control points weren't maintained, and as a result, forced liquidation occurred. The demand for alternatives to the US dollar is indeed valid, but can these politicians listen? A thousand gold pieces can't buy early knowledge, brother. When stablecoins lose their yield attractiveness = ecological vitality is drained, and then they might be overtaken by overseas products. Only then will the US realize the regret.

Playing the "regulation is suicide" card again, huh? American politicians really get caught up in this.
I believe capital is flowing out, but affecting the dollar's status? That's a bit of an overstatement, haha.
If stablecoin yields disappear, users will leave—that logic makes sense... but there are other ways, too.
The real problem is who is drafting these bills—that's the real punch to the gut.
Can regulation and innovation be balanced? It feels like we're just fooling ourselves.
