The stablecoin industry will usher in a historic turning point in 2025—The US, the EU, and Asia are all advancing stablecoin legislation. What does this mean?

In the past, stablecoins were just a payment tool in the crypto world. Now, they have officially upgraded from "private assets" to "institutional assets."

The key is not whether USDT or USDC is more popular, but that the entire stablecoin ecosystem has been legally recognized—becoming a legitimate and acknowledged form of currency on the blockchain settlement layer. This is the first time stablecoins have been "written into global rules."

nah see this is the part where everyone misses the real trap... they're not "legitimizing" stablecoins, they're just codifying the kill switch. regulators always move slow til they don't.

Wait, is this really about compliance? Then the small coins I accumulated before won't be held back, right...

In simple terms, the central banks have finally admitted that they can't beat us, and have started to establish rules to bring stablecoins into the system. This move can be seen as a reverse way of cutting leeks... No, it's institutionalized arbitrage. The game equilibrium has been rewritten once again.

Wait, does this really mean the crypto world is about to be integrated into the system? Something feels off.

Really? This time, stablecoins have finally been officially recognized. By the way, does this mean a major reshuffle is coming to on-chain finance?

Nah, now it's really going to be compliant. It feels like the crypto world is being tamed. --- Institutionalization is a double-edged sword; freedom might be lost. --- Wait, wait, wait, is this the rhythm of being watched by the central authorities? --- Basically, all countries want a piece of the stablecoin cake. --- Legitimate ≠ free. Be careful of being cut off. --- I just want to know if it will become harder and harder to withdraw coins. --- Finally no longer seen as dirty money. This feeling is a bit subtle. --- Is USDT's position solidified? Or do new players have a chance? --- Legislation might actually cause more trouble; the KYC army is coming.

Really? Once it's legally recognized, can it be used? I think, honestly, this is just a new excuse to cut the leeks. Wait, will USDT be eliminated because of this... Damn, finally waiting for this day, 2025 is taking off. Institutionalization = cutting the leeks of the system. I bet five kidneys that some people will fall into the trap this time. Written into the rules? That means stablecoins will have to pay taxes in the future, damn... No, I need to watch it again, I feel like I didn't quite understand what it means.
