According to Valmont, limiting interest payments on stablecoins could redirect trillions of dollars into the DeFi ecosystem and give the Ethereum network a more central role in global financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/this-development-could-trigger-a-bull-run-in-ethereum\/#GENIUS_Act_Debate_and_Stablecoin_Interest_Controversy\" title=\"GENIUS Act Debate and Stablecoin Interest Controversy\">GENIUS Act Debate and Stablecoin Interest Controversy<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/this-development-could-trigger-a-bull-run-in-ethereum\/#ETH_Value_Capture_Could_Strengthen\" title=\"ETH Value Capture Could Strengthen\">ETH Value Capture Could Strengthen<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/this-development-could-trigger-a-bull-run-in-ethereum\/#Institutional_Interest_and_Layer_2_L2_Impact\" title=\"Institutional Interest and Layer 2 (L2) Impact\">Institutional Interest and Layer 2 (L2) Impact<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"1076\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GENIUS_Act_Debate_and_Stablecoin_Interest_Controversy\"><\/span>GENIUS Act Debate and Stablecoin Interest Controversy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"1076\">The GENIUS Act currently under discussion in the U.S. Congress includes debates over whether stablecoins can pay interest and whether banks can pass Treasury yields on to users. Valmont notes that the very fact these discussions are happening indicates that stablecoins are no longer just a crypto experiment\u2014they are becoming central to the U.S. financial system. Officials openly discussing trillions of dollars moving on-chain signals a structural transformation in financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1472\">Valmont highlights that if stablecoins are legally prohibited from paying interest, capital will seek alternative returns. In her view, money flows like water to the highest-yielding opportunities. If digital dollars are stuck at zero yield, large capital may move from banks into DeFi protocols. This could turn Ethereum not just into a payment network but into a 24\/7 global capital market.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1943\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ETH_Value_Capture_Could_Strengthen\"><\/span>ETH Value Capture Could Strengthen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1943\">In this scenario, all stablecoin transactions and DeFi activity on Ethereum directly generate value for ETH. Every transfer, tokenized asset, and DeFi operation uses ETH, and as network usage increases, ETH supply could shrink through transaction fees and burn mechanisms. Valmont believes that trillions of dollars circulating on Ethereum could elevate ETH\u2019s role as \u201cdigital fuel\u201d and create long-term upward price pressure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1945\" data-end=\"2260\">She also argues that AI-powered financial agents could accelerate capital flows, automatically detecting interest rate differences in milliseconds and directing funds to DeFi protocols. This could enable fast arbitrage between zero-yield stablecoins and DeFi opportunities, boosting Ethereum\u2019s transaction volume.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2759\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Institutional_Interest_and_Layer_2_L2_Impact\"><\/span>Institutional Interest and Layer 2 (L2) Impact<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2759\">On the institutional side, Ethereum\u2019s Layer 2 solutions are gaining attention. Banks and fintechs prefer customizable L2 networks built on Ethereum rather than operating on a single chain. This allows institutions to maintain compliance while leveraging the main network\u2019s security. According to Valmont, this approach provides a more integrated solution than past \u201cnetwork of networks\u201d models and has the potential to attract global capital. Valmont emphasizes that the discussion should not be reduced solely to stablecoin interest. Whether or not stablecoins pay interest, as the sector grows, Ethereum\u2019s network activity will increase. Higher activity leads to more ETH burns and tighter supply, laying the foundation for a structural bull case for Ethereum over the long term.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2911\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em>In the comment section, you can freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic.
