Tether Maintains Neutral Stance on Stablecoin Yield Debate

Yield or just a stable peg? The debate is heating up, but Tether is staying out of the crossfire. 🍿

While the crypto industry and traditional banking giants are locking horns in Washington over whether stablecoin issuers should share interest with holders, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has made the company’s position crystal clear: Neutrality.

Why the "Neutral" Stance?

Tether’s "bare-metal" approach—focusing on liquidity and stability rather than interest-bearing features—has allowed it to navigate the regulatory minefield that rivals are currently stuck in.

Regulatory Shield: By not sharing yield, $USDT avoids being classified as a security or a deposit substitute under the eyes of the SEC and the American Bankers Association (ABA).

The GENIUS Act Factor: The newly signed federal framework for stablecoins prohibits direct interest payments from issuers to retail holders. By maintaining its traditional model, Tether is already "regulation-ready."
