US lawmakers propose tax break for small stablecoin payments, staking rewards

US lawmakers have introduced a discussion draft proposing tax exemptions for small stablecoin payments and deferral options for staking and mining rewards. The bill, introduced by Representatives Max Miller and Steven Horsford, aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code to accommodate the growing use of digital assets in everyday transactions. It would exempt gains or losses on stablecoin transactions under $200, provided the stablecoin is dollar-pegged and issued under the GENIUS Act. Additionally, taxpayers could defer income recognition from staking and mining rewards for up to five years, addressing concerns around "phantom income." The draft also includes anti-abuse measures and extends certain securities rules to digital assets. Meanwhile, crypto industry groups are urging the Senate to reconsider proposed restrictions on stablecoin rewards.

Uniswap rallies 11% after 3 developments – Can UNI push higher?

Uniswap (UNI) surged 11% in 24 hours, driven by three key developments: a governance proposal to burn 100 million UNI tokens, advancements in AI agent-to-agent payments via Coinbase's x402 V2, and the KuCoin listing of UnifAI Network. The token broke a month-long bearish trend but faces a critical resistance near $7. A successful breach could target $10-$12, while failure may negate the bullish momentum. The proposal links protocol usage to token value through fee burns, enhancing decentralization and potential scarcity.

Why Do DeFi Users Reject Fixed Rates?

Despite the intuitive appeal of fixed-rate loans for providing payment certainty, they have consistently failed to gain mainstream adoption in DeFi. This is not due to user rejection alone but stems from a fundamental mismatch between product design and actual user behavior. DeFi protocols are built as on-demand money markets, where lenders prioritize liquidity, composability, and the ability to exit or rotate capital instantly—features inherent to floating-rate pools like Aave. They accept slightly lower yields for this flexibility. In contrast, fixed-rate products require capital lock-up, sacrificing this optionality. The modest premium offered is often insufficient compensation for this loss. Furthermore, most crypto borrowing is not long-term credit but short-term leverage, basis trading, and collateral management. These borrowers are unwilling to pay a high premium for fixed rates as they don’t plan to hold debt long-term. This creates a one-sided market where lenders demand a lock-up premium, but borrowers refuse to pay it. Fixed-rate mechanisms also suffer from fragmented liquidity across different maturities, leading to poor secondary markets and significant price impacts for early exits. This forces lenders to become bond managers rather than passive liquidity providers. Ultimately, fixed-rate lending can exist as a niche product but is structurally disadvantaged to become the default in DeFi. The ecosystem is dominated by mercenary capital that values liquidity over yield certainty. For fixed rates to succeed, they must be treated as true credit instruments with priced-in exit options, rather than attempting to mimic liquid money markets.

Why Do DeFi Users Reject Fixed Rates?

Fixed-rate lending has consistently struggled to gain traction in DeFi, not because users inherently reject it, but due to a fundamental mismatch between product design and the actual behavior of capital in the ecosystem. DeFi protocols are built as on-demand money markets, where lenders—acting like cash managers—prioritize liquidity, composability, and the ability to exit or reallocate funds instantly. They accept lower yields in exchange for these features. In contrast, fixed-rate products require locking funds for a duration, sacrificing this flexibility for a modest premium that often fails to adequately compensate for the loss of optionality. Most crypto borrowing is not long-term credit but leveraged, tactical activity like basis trading and collateral recycling, where borrowers also prefer floating rates for their flexibility. This creates a one-sided market: lenders demand a premium to lock funds, but borrowers are unwilling to pay it. Fixed-rate markets fragment liquidity across maturities, leading to poor secondary markets and significant price impacts for early exits. While fixed-rate products can exist in niche, hold-to-maturity forms, they are structurally disadvantaged. The lender base, composed of mercenary capital seeking liquidity, will likely keep floating-rate money markets like Aave as the default, with fixed-rate serving only as an optional overlay for those explicitly seeking duration exposure.
