Recently, I noticed a very key change - the regulatory power of encryption has quietly changed hands. The SEC's set of regulations is now basically aside, and the CFTC has the final say.
This matter is actually worth pondering. You see, there are only three things that can be used as collateral in derivatives trading: BTC, ETH and USDC. The question is, who is more reliable among these three? Bitcoin liquidity has nothing to say, but fluctuations are fierce; The Ethereum ecosystem is rich and stakable income; Stablecoins are stable but basically zero returns. Who you choose is actually betting on your judgment of the market.
To put it further, Lao Mei is playing a double insurance strategy this time. One line bets on the AI technology revolution and puts the national fortune in; The other line is to move the hegemony of the US dollar to the chain and let tools such as USDC extend their tentacles. Both hands must be hard, and whichever line runs out wins.

I just said that the SEC really got sidelined in this wave; the CFTC taking over is definitely determined to bring crypto into the traditional financial framework. I see through this routine too clearly.
I'm still a bit hesitant to use BTC as collateral; the volatility is too crazy. ETH staking yields are indeed attractive, but it depends on whether the ecosystem is stable. USDC is the safest, but it's not very interesting... This multiple-choice is quite difficult.
The Americans' move is truly brilliant—one line for AI, one line for the dollar chain. It feels like no matter which one takes off, they'll profit. As retail investors, we just follow along and get a bit of the soup.

The CFTC took over this matter really, I feel that the SEC has been overtaken haha, and this combination of punches in the United States is really amazing
---
It's really difficult to choose one of the three, I'm still sticking to BTC, fluctuating when it fluctuates, anyway, I'm not afraid of cutting meat
---
USDC returns are zero? Then it is better to put stablecoins on the exchange to eat interest
---
Double insurance is really ruthless, and on the AI + dollar chain, both hands are really playing chess
---
The income from ETH staking is not bad, but no one can say for sure whether it is an ecological risk
---
To put it bluntly, it is better to choose the best liquidity, anyway, derivatives can be collateralized by these three
---
I am convinced of this operation by Lao Mei, either win or win, there is no option to lose, right?
---
Wait, has the CFTC really taken over completely, or is it decentralized?
---
My multiple-choice questions are always BTC, and the others are here to accompany me

It's true? The SEC stepped aside? This operation is a bit fierce, and the CFTC takes over and feels that the rules will be loosened a lot. Although the income from BTC as collateral is low, at least I feel at ease, and the temptation of ETH pledge is too great.

I have long seen that the SEC is taking over, and the CFTC is the real thing. BTC fluctuations are so fierce, how dare you use it as collateral? I don't believe it.
ETH staking income is okay, but the ecology is not so fragrant now. USDC is the most stable but 0 return is really boring, so it's better to keep cash.
The US dollar on the chain is a great move, and it directly moves the hegemony to the chain, which is very smart. Both the AI line and the coin line bet, and the winning margin is really big.
CFTC talks count, how will this game go next?
In fact, no one is absolutely reliable in these three derivatives, it depends on whether you gamble or not.

The CFTC should have been like this a long time ago... The SEC really can't control the derivatives stuff
There are only three types of collateral, I am still bullish on BTC, and the stablecoin yield is zero, which is a waste of time
The move of on-chain of the US dollar is indeed absolute, and USDC is a financial Trojan horse
Real thoughts: Now those who choose ETH to stake are betting that staking will continue to make huge profits, wake up, everyone
Lao Mei understands that AI and USDC bet on the future and control the present, and both hands are the king

It's a regulatory substitution again, and the SEC retires from the CFTC to come to power, which feels like paving the way for stablecoins
BTC fluctuates fiercely but liquidity explodes, ETH mining income is attractive, USDC is stable but really nothing to do... This multiple-choice question is actually a bet on whether your market feels right
The United States is a chess player, AI is a line of national fortune all-in, USDC is a line of US dollar hegemony digitization... It's really a situation where both left and right can win
The feeling of embarrassment, whoever runs out of the two-line layout is the capital wins
To put it bluntly, it is still in the next big game, we retail investors are watching, CFTC now has the final say and feels that the rules are going to change
