U.S. Senate proposes refined framework targeting stablecoin yield mechanisms. The bill introduces restrictions on rewards generated from idle stablecoin holdings—a move that could reshape how platforms structure their tokenomics and user incentive programs.

For traders and projects operating in the stablecoin space, this signals stricter regulatory scrutiny around passive income products. The proposal reflects ongoing legislative efforts to establish clearer guardrails around digital asset yields and reserve requirements.

Market participants are closely monitoring how these provisions might impact existing stablecoin protocols and whether similar measures could emerge across other jurisdictions.

Once again restricting LP yields, this time the US Senate is really bored --- The era of passive income from stablecoins is coming to an end, and it's our turn next --- Basically, they are afraid that retail investors will make money through permissionless finance; the traditional financial system remains the same --- Capital efficiency will be cut, and this surfing entry point needs to be re-evaluated --- The optimization strategy needs to be changed again; these game rules are changing too quickly --- Waiting to see who gets called out first; there will definitely be a chain reaction later --- Laughing out loud, regulators will never imagine how powerful on-chain arbitrage can be --- Liquidity depth will be affected; we need to quickly adjust our market-making strategies

Here comes the pump and dump again. Is the U.S. Senate trying to ruin the good days for stablecoins?

Here we go again, one after another. I've been through the 2018 wave, and none of the high-APY schemes ended well. The Senate's move is actually to close the loopholes in the funding schemes; it should have been regulated long ago.

Here comes the yield from stablecoins again. These lawmakers just don't want retail investors to make money.
