The originally scheduled major positive news for the CLARITY bill this week has suddenly become uncertain. A leading compliant platform that was a main supporter recently changed its stance, stating that after multiple revisions, the bill has become heavily tilted and has essentially become a breeding ground for traditional banks and institutions, while creating numerous obstacles for native blockchain companies.

They pointed out several key issues: most notably, the latest draft has dealt a blow to the stablecoin ecosystem. Specifically, it restricts the earnings and rewards that holders can receive — for example, the annualized rewards earned by users depositing stablecoins like USDC on exchanges could be cut off. This means that DeFi projects and exchanges that once relied on such incentives to attract funds are now facing a disrupted logic.

As the bill continues to be revised, the利益格局 has quietly been reshaped. Blockchain industry practitioners need to reassess the policy direction.

USDC0.01%

DEFI12.54%

Wait, I need to dig into the flow of funds behind this... The compliant platform suddenly changes its stance. Is it really a conscience awakening? Or has someone secretly given a bigger weight... I need to check whose wallets have had recent activity. I think this isn't a positive turn but a planned black-box operation from the start. Stablecoin yields cut? This signal is too obvious. Is a big player planning something?

Here we go again. Laws and regulations are really the ancestors of changing their minds overnight. Compliant platforms applaud one second and turn hostile the next. Who would believe that is their grandson? Rewards for stablecoins cut? That's outrageous. The DeFi ecosystem relies on this bloodsucking. Without it, what's the point of playing? Feels like we're about to get cut again. Should I go all-in tomorrow, everyone...

Here we go again with the old trick, first praise then criticize. Traditional finance plays it this way. --- Are all stablecoin yields going to be locked up? Then what's the point of playing DeFi? Just go to the bank and deposit a fixed-term deposit. --- Wait, the lawmakers who pushed this bill before have now flipped? The plot twist is pretty intense. --- At the end of the day, retail investors are still being harvested, while institutions are laughing happily. It's really disgusting. --- Policy keeps changing again and again. This is even more ruthless than a rug pull in the crypto world. Haha. --- So trusting policies is less reliable than trusting Bitcoin. At least code is law. --- Did the leading platform suddenly change its stance because they found a problem, or is there some other vested interest? Thinking about it deeply is truly terrifying. --- The incentive mechanisms in the DeFi ecosystem have been cut. What reason do users have to keep playing? We're returning to the era of zero yields. --- Clarity has been clearly clarified: it's not clear to us, but it's very clear and advantageous to banks.

Here comes the old trick of cutting leeks again; a bill is just a smokescreen. Traditional finance wants to trap us; even AlphaGo can't understand these twists and turns. DeFi yields are being cut off—what's the point of playing? Just say you want centralized control and be done with it. Rebuilding interests? It's just a matter of exchanging benefits; it's always the big fish eating the small fish. Let's wait and see—this isn't over.

It's the same old trick again—praise first, then criticize. Repeatedly changing policies and drafts show there's no genuine sincerity. Stablecoin yields are being blocked? CeFi's days aren't looking good either.

Damn, this is another political game, the banks are up to their tricks again --- Is this a direct break-up with the compliant platform? Truly driven by interests, brother --- Stablecoin yields are cut to death? What about my annualized return? Is that all? --- Another redistribution of power, retail investors are still the same, getting cut again --- Haha, this is the political reality of Web3, I see through it --- The CLARITY Act is just a disguise for traditional finance, I told you --- DeFi logic is broken, but are there other ways out, brothers? --- It’s always like this, promises of good news end up being bad news --- Really feeling a bit hopeless, policies are too unpredictable --- Wait, who is pushing the revisions behind the scenes? There must be a big bank’s shadow involved

Another plot twist, so damn ridiculous --- Stablecoin yields cut? Then the appeal of DeFi is gone, this move is absolutely brilliant --- Regulatory platforms turn against us at the last minute, it shows they’ve already seen through it, this bill is tailor-made for big institutions --- Annualized rewards cut off directly, anyone who receives them will go bankrupt, how can we continue to play? --- Repeatedly revising drafts so many times, it’s essentially a power struggle, small investors in the chain circle continue to be exploited --- The CLARITY bill has a good name, but it’s actually a trick, haha --- Wait, why did the leading platforms suddenly turn against us? There must be a story behind it --- Policies keep changing, we’re just blindly following along, so frustrating --- DeFi ecosystem gets a blow, does stablecoin still have any meaning to exist? --- Rearranging interests, it’s nothing but a redistribution of power, and we’re the ones suffering

It's the same trick again, they change the rules after the big pancake is drawn.

Another reversal? Bankers, this trick is truly unmatched. It's unbelievable that compliant platforms would turn against us at the last moment.

Coming back with this again? After pushing the bill for so long, they turn around and cut their own people. Traditional finance really knows how to play this game.
