US politicians will not allow crypto companies to offer yield on stablecoins

Reason for that is simple:

Yield on stablecoins will draw deposits away from banks and destory their business model.

Why would anyone keep their money as a bank deposit?

Stablecoins are safer than bank deposits.

Stablecoins are backed (mostly) by US government bonds.

US government bonds are safest and most liquid instrument on the planet.

Compare that to bank deposits, where you're exposed to risk of bank's balance-sheet.

Finally, banks pay out very little yield on their bank deposits. 

Banks make money by keeping most of the yield, and passing very little of that to end users. 

Conclusion is straightforward: 

Stablecoins with yield are a danger to banks' business model, so political lobbies will not allow it.

Web3 Marketing Leader | Scaling brands through strategy, content, and execution

Since 2019, I’ve been deep in the Web3 arena - part researcher, part strategist, part content-first marketer. My goal is simple: turn complex decentralized technology into clear, compelling stories that move people and businesses forward.

I’ve collaborated with multicultural teams across four continents, analyzing the latest blockchain trends, mapping their impact across industries, and guiding organizations through the fast-changing Web3 landscape. Along the way I’ve championed a “ship > talk” culture—quick execution, open feedback, and plenty of room for creativity (and the occasional meme).

✨ Key Wins

- Built From Zero to 250K: Foundation, Visibility & Growth

Established the entire marketing foundation for early-stage Web3 startups, taking them from zero presence to nearly 250,000 followers across platforms.

Developed and executed content strategies that drove massive organic reach, brand awareness, and long-term community engagement.

- Campaigns that convert

Built fundraising and go-to-market campaigns for Web3 brands by distilling complex tech into persuasive, story-driven narratives.

- Brand amplification

Elevated blockchain service & infrastructure providers with engaging content, sharp positioning, and hands-on management of content + community teams.

- Community, not just hype
Launched mission-focused communities aimed at long-term utility, not fleeting buzz.

- Culture matters

Discovered first-hand that nothing grabs Web3 attention like smart memes and humor, now a core tool in my brand-building kit.

What I Bring

- Story-led leadership – I rally teams to craft narratives that spotlight the real-world value of blockchain and fintech innovations.

- Executive brand coaching – From whitepapers to Twitter threads, I help companies, founders and CEOs claim their thought-leadership space.

- Ecosystem fluency – With six years of on-chain experience, I translate technical depth into business impact.

Jeff Bezos explains why slow decisions are worse than bad decisions.

2025 showed where real on chain activity lives

While markets stayed choppy, transactions kept stacking up across chains that users rely on.

Here’s what the numbers tell us ⬇️

➡️ Solana dominates by a wide margin with 121B transactions, showing unmatched throughput and consistent real world usage.

➡️ BNB Chain and TRON DAO follow with 5.6B and 3.2B transactions, reflecting strong retail activity and stable demand.

➡️ NEAR Protocol and Aptos each processed around 1.9B transactions, highlighting steady adoption beyond the top tier chains.

➡️ Stellar Development Foundation, Polygon Labs, and Injective continue to see meaningful activity, each crossing the 1.4B–1.5B range.

➡️ TELEGRAM OPEN NETWORK, SEI Network, Ethereum, and Avalanche round out the list, proving that even mature or specialized chains still process hundreds of millions of transactions annually.

✅ In 2025 blockchains that excelled in throughput memecoin activity and reliability captured the most activity.

P.S. Which blockchain were you most active on in 2025?
