Jinse Finance reported that on March 30, the latest version of the crypto bill, the "CLARITY Act," has attracted significant attention mainly due to its regulatory provisions targeting stablecoins. According to a report released by 10x Research, the bill could have the most severe impact on DeFi and its related tokens when implemented in practice.The core content of the bill proposes to prohibit the provision of financial yields on stablecoin balances and any similar forms of rewards or returns. This effectively puts an end to the use of stablecoins as on-chain savings products, redefining them purely as payment circulation tools.Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, pointed out: "This means yield-earning rights will clearly move back toward centralization." The reasoning is that the bill would return yield-generating businesses to banks, money market funds, and various compliant, licensed institutions—substantially narrowing the competitive space for native crypto platforms offering yields.Although early views suggested that DeFi might benefit from such a shift, this change in industry landscape would also impact DeFi. Thielen explained that the market logic previously assumed that if centralized platforms stopped offering financial yields, user funds would flow into the on-chain DeFi ecosystem. However, this hypothesis is based on the premise that DeFi would not be subject to the same regulatory constraints. In reality, the regulatory framework of the "CLARITY Act" will likely extend to cover front-end interfaces and various token models; especially when projects generate service fee revenues or governance rights approach the attributes of traditional equity, regulators will fully intervene with oversight.

Saudi Arabia’s oil shipments to Asia surged to nearly 100 million barrels, with Aramco proactively covering transportation and delivering directly to China, India, and Japan-South Korea: Supply shortage expectations meet the reality of correction.

According to reports, since the middle of last week, Saudi Arabia has sold approximately 100 million barrels of crude oil to China, India, Japan, and South Korea, with delivery periods covering October and November. At the same time, Saudi Aramco has made a rare commitment in these transactions to handle logistics and transportation, delivering the crude oil directly to Asian customers. Previously, due to soaring oil prices, Asian refineries had been considering reducing operating rates. This large-scale supply has to some extent mitigated the supply risks faced by Asia.
