Stablecoins 2.0: The Ultimate “Stable” Guide to Blockchain Madness 🤨

by

July 18, 2025 – Trump signs the GENIUS Act. Yep, the government finally decided, “Hey, let’s regulate these thingamajigs called stable coins.” Because nothing screams stability like a bunch of shadowy digital dollars floating around, right? Now, America’s officially in the stablecoin club, and everyone else better catch up — or embarrass themselves trying.

So, here are the big players—banks, nations, corporations—all scrambling like it’s Black Friday to get their slice of this digital pie. Nomy Research’s got the lowdown on the chaos—uh, the race—to lead the next-gen stablecoin showdown.

Stablecoins on the International Circus

China

2021: Ban on crypto mining. Fast forward to 2025: Suddenly, they’re talking about stablecoins pegged to the yuan. Because, you know, what’s old is new again—like a boomer trying TikTok, but instead it’s a government planning to dominate digital payments with the digital yuan. Chinese Coin

Aron Burke from Nomy says, “With all China’s fintech muscles, they could turn into the heavyweight champs of blockchain payments. Or just make everything more complicated—your call.”

At the Lujiazui Forum, China’s bigwigs announced plans to push the digital yuan worldwide, creating an “e-CNY center” because what the world really needs is more currencies, right? Meanwhile, companies like JD and Ant Group are elbowing for licenses—because what’s more American than fighting for digital coin dominance in Hong Kong?

But hey, China’s got cap controls, which is like trying to do the moonwalk while wearing cement shoes—good luck, folks. Still, with the U.S. making a fuss, maybe the Party’s quickening the pace.

European Union

June 30, 2024: Hello, MiCA! Basically, the EU said, “If you wanna play in our sandbox, you gotta follow the rules.” License applications, reserve disclosures, transaction caps—sounds fun, right? Not quite, because it’s all about keeping stablecoins from turning into the Euro’s wild kids, jumping around and causing chaos.

By Jan 2025, the regulators tightened their grip—freezing out unlicensed tokens like a bouncer ejects unruly clubbers. They even warned about stablecoins and ETFs mingling with traditional finance—because heaven forbid there’s a digital asset party going on without oversight.

UK

Britain’s doing the two-step—regulators for the little guys, BoE for the heavy hitters. They’re setting the stage for a digital pound—if it’s profitable, that is. Because if it isn’t, well, who needs more complicated digital money that no one really trusts, right? UK Flag

The Passive Income Parade

Meanwhile, it’s all about making money while you sleep. Stablecoins are now the new “set it and forget it.” Thanks to DeFi, you can toss those coins into some yield farm and wake up richer—maybe. Or maybe with less hair, who knows?

And companies like Nomy Finance—those guys are all-in since 2019—helping people make that sweet APY without losing sleep. Because if you’re gonna earn, might as well do it safely, right? Stop stressing about the volatility—these stablecoins are as steady as your Aunt’s Thanksgiving casserole.

The Great Blockchain Throwdown

Picking a blockchain is like choosing a side in a family feud. Nomy Research says the contenders are:

  • Ethereum—King of stablecoins, but every transaction feels like a trip to Disneyland with those gas fees. Still, more devs than you can shake a stick at.
  • Solana—Fast, cheap, and making friends. The cool kid on the block chain.
  • BNB Chain—Fast, affordable, and integrated with Binance, so basically the Chanel of blockchains.
  • Tron—Speedy and cheap, especially for USDT lovers. The “flashy but reliable” cousin.
  • Avalanche—Customizable, scalable, and probably the least confusing option if you’re into that sort of thing.

Bottom line? The future’s going multi-chain—like a digital potluck, everyone brings their best. Balance security, speed, decentralization, and regulation and hope for the best.

In Summation—Or Not

The GENIUS Act is pretty much the opening bell for stablecoins to go mainstream—think Wall Street meets Silicon Valley, with a splash of chaos. Regulations will shape how fast and how far these things go, but one thing’s for sure: the race to rule stablecoins will be fierce, and probably a little crazy. Buckle up.
