Regulatory uncertainty gives cryptocurrency companies a relative advantage over traditional banks, since banks must wait for clear rules before launching products, while crypto companies can innovate rapidly. Additionally, proposed stablecoin yield restrictions could push capital toward offshore synthetic dollar assets (such as USDe), which generate yields through derivatives markets, potentially shifting liquidity to less-regulated regions and thereby defeating regulatory objectives.
