According to Decrypt, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis stated that the Senate is expected to release a revised draft text on stablecoin yield distribution this week.Currently, there is a disagreement between banks and crypto companies on whether cryptocurrency exchanges should be allowed to pay yields to stablecoin holders through reward programs, and this controversy has stalled the legislative process of the Clarity Act.

However, the American Bankers Association believes this analysis underestimates the risks. Observers point out that if the draft provisions are too strict, it may lead users and liquidity to flow to other jurisdictions that allow yields.

Bitwise Asset Management points out that the recent strength of Bitcoin is not contrary to a risk-averse environment, but is directly driven by geopolitical conflicts. Since the escalation of the situation in the Middle East at the end of February, BTC has risen by about 12%, while the S&P 500 index has fallen by about 1% and gold has dropped by about 10%, showing a clear divergence in performance.Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and research director Ryan Rasmussen state that Bitcoin is simultaneously embodying two logics: "store of value asset" and "potential international settlement currency." As the financial system becomes "weaponized" and the global payment system fractures, the appeal of non-sovereign neutral assets continues to rise. The report suggests that geopolitical fragmentation is prompting some countries to explore alternative paths to bypass the traditional financial system, such as attempting to introduce Bitcoin settlements in trade. This trend enhances BTC's potential position in the global monetary system. Based on the aforementioned changes, Bitwise indicates that the Bitcoin valuation framework is being reshaped; if it captures both store of value and transaction settlement demand, long-term price expectations may be underestimated, and $1 million could shift from a target ceiling to a "benchmark level."
