The pressure on traditional banks is coming. Recently, the management of a leading compliant platform publicly stated that traditional financial institutions are lobbying regulatory authorities behind the scenes, attempting to restrict stablecoins from paying interest or other forms of yields to users by amending existing legislation.
The core issue here is: platforms like some mainstream exchanges allow users holding stablecoins to earn yields. Banks see this opportunity, are both envious and unable to access it, and thus want to change the rules—effectively blocking this pathway. In plain terms, this is a form of "technological suppression" by the traditional financial system against on-chain innovation.
The impact on ordinary investors is very direct. If such lobbying succeeds, the earning potential on stablecoins will be significantly reduced, and options will become more limited. However, there is an interesting counterlogic—precisely because banks and traditional institutions are so actively opposing, it indicates that the yield-bearing stablecoin model has already touched the core interests of traditional finance, and also demonstrates the future potential of such innovations.
In terms of recent strategies, it is advisable to prioritize large platforms that have already obtained compliance qualifications and have publicly stated opposition to such regulatory restrictions. These platforms generally have stronger risk resistance. In the long run, truly valuable innovations are often unafraid of policy suppression and may even develop more resilient business models in the process. Policy directions will continue to evolve, so this is a matter worth ongoing monitoring.

Banks are getting anxious, which shows that the interest-earning model of stablecoins is really hitting a pain point
---
It's the same old trick of traditional finance—changing rules to block new ways
---
Wow, are they really going to attack stablecoin yields? Can these people just calm down for a bit
---
The more fierce the opposition, the greater the potential—I'm convinced by this logic
---
Holding reliable and compliant platform USDT feels more secure than depositing in a bank
---
Haha, seeing their business being snatched away, the banks finally can't sit still
---
When the policy hits, we just run; anyway, innovation will eventually win
---
Instead of worrying, better to find platforms that dare to go head-to-head, at least they show attitude
---
The targeting of interest-earning stablecoins has just begun, and how it will develop remains uncertain
---
Banks doing this are just afraid of losing their influence; it's hard not to laugh

The banks are getting anxious, which shows that the stablecoin system has indeed touched their core interests. When they can't block it, they start manipulating the rules—old tricks.

Bank panic is actually a good sign, indicating that our strategy is really hitting the nerve.
---
Here we go again, traditional finance only knows how to lobby regulators, which is truly outrageous.
---
The compliant platform folks are right; banks are envious of the returns from stablecoins, encouraging policy restrictions, clearly a technical kill.
---
The key is that ordinary retail investors suffer the most; once policies tighten, the profit margins are gone.
---
Thinking in reverse, the more banks oppose, the more it proves this model is valuable. No fear of suppression, continue to be optimistic about this track.
---
Keep an eye on those large platforms that openly oppose this kind of regulation; their risk resistance is indeed stronger.
---
Policy suppression might actually accelerate the upgrade of business models; historical experience is right here.
---
It's the old trick again: rules change, profits disappear, and in the end, it's still us small retail investors who get hurt.
---
Traditional finance's recent moves are really a bit hasty, indicating that on-chain innovation has already become a threat.

The banks are really getting anxious, which shows that we've truly shaken the status quo.
---
Coming with the same old tricks? Traditional finance is only so capable; if they can't block us, they'll just change the rules.
---
Haha, the more they oppose, the more it proves that stablecoins are valuable.
---
I'm just worried that if it really turns out like this, the returns will disappear completely.
---
Regulated major platforms need to step up and stand firm now; otherwise, we'll all suffer.
---
This is interesting; it actually proves the vitality of Web3.
---
The banks' recent move is really low; they directly ban user rights.
---
In the long run, there will definitely be changes, but in the short term, we must be cautious.
---
The days of earning interest while lying down might be coming to an end, everyone.
---
The more they suppress, the more innovative we become; how is this pattern so accurate?

The bank is panicking, what are they afraid of haha
---
They want to block our money flow again, too obvious
---
Fortunately, I chose a qualified platform, so I sleep better
---
The louder the opposition, the more it proves that the path of earning interest with stablecoins is correct
---
If the returns are cut, I'll just transfer directly to DeFi
---
Traditional finance is so limited, think changing the rules can make you win? Too naive
---
Compliant platforms openly compete with banks, that’s true competitiveness
