Introduction: From the Alps to the World of Blockchain

Digital currencies and artificial intelligence are no longer mere side topics that pique curiosity; they have become central to the global dialogue. The question is no longer 'Will these technologies change our world?' but 'How do we manage this transformation to ensure a prosperous and stable economic future for all?'

Forget about price charts for a moment; today cryptocurrencies are the preferred tool of geopolitics. For countries under sanctions or blockades, such as Russia or Iran, blockchain is not an experiment, it is a lifeline. It allows them to move capital and trade resources like oil out of the reach of the SWIFT system and the control of the dollar, reclaiming an economic sovereignty that the traditional banking system had taken from them.
In state treasuries, three key assets share the spotlight:

As the heat from the London Games Conference (PGC) slightly cools, the global crypto market's attention collectively turns today to the Swiss Alps—Davos World Economic Forum (WEF). Today is the 'Web3 Special Day' of the Davos Forum, with institutional funds dominating the market today, and the RWA (real-world assets) and compliant DeFi sectors becoming the absolute main characters.

The strongest voice coming from the Davos Forum undoubtedly belongs to Avalanche (AVAX). Unlike previous years' discussions on blockchain technology, this year's forum is all about tangible results. Avalanche officially announced on-site that its Spruce Subnet, designed specifically for institutions, has completed testing, and Citibank and Fidelity will officially utilize this subnet for real-time settlement of foreign exchange and tokenized funds. This news is seen as a milestone event in the integration of TradFi (traditional finance) and public chains—institutions are no longer just playing in the sandbox but are starting to operate in production environments. Driven by this, AVAX surged 15% intraday, strongly breaking through the $60 resistance level, triggering collective excitement in the RWA sector, with infrastructure tokens like Chainlink (LINK) and Ondo (ONDO) also recording steady gains due to positive expectations for a 'global asset tokenization standard.'

Yield-Bearing Digital Yuan: A Structural Shift in Digital Money
China has taken a decisive step forward in digital finance with the rollout of a revamped Digital Yuan (eCNY), now structured as a yield-bearing central bank digital currency. The updated eCNY replaces the earlier non-yielding model and offers an annual return of roughly 0.35%, a modest figure on paper but a major first in the global CBDC landscape.
At first glance, a 0.35% yield may appear insignificant. In practice, it is unprecedented. No major CBDC or widely used stablecoin currently distributes yield directly to holders. Even yield-linked instruments such as Binance’s BFUSD introduce counterparty and market risk and are typically limited to trading or liquidity strategies. A sovereign CBDC, by contrast, can be used for everyday payments while simultaneously accruing yield, without relying on private intermediaries.
What makes the eCNY notable is this fusion of two traditionally separate ideas. Stablecoins prioritise spendability and settlement, while yield-bearing products focus on returns. China has combined both into a single state-backed instrument, changing the value proposition of digital cash itself.
Why This Challenges Stablecoins
The real pressure point for stablecoins lies in adoption beyond China’s borders. If the eCNY gains traction in countries with deep trade relationships with China, it could trigger large-scale offshore usage. Businesses and governments would have a clear incentive to hold eCNY for settlement purposes while earning a guaranteed return simply by keeping balances on hand.
Most stablecoins today are denominated in US dollars and offer no yield to users. In a trade-driven context, that makes them less attractive than a CBDC that pays holders for liquidity they already need. Over time, this could erode stablecoin dominance in specific corridors tied closely to Chinese trade.
Why USD Stablecoins Cannot Easily Respond
USD-backed stablecoins such as #USDT , #USDC , FDUSD, and PYUSD already generate yield internally by investing reserves in short-term US government securities. That yield is retained by issuers as revenue. Passing it on to users would dramatically compress margins and could spark a competitive race to the bottom.
There is also a systemic constraint. If stablecoins began paying yield at scale, they would start to resemble deposit products, raising regulatory red flags and potentially destabilising traditional banking models. With a US-issued CBDC still politically unlikely, matching the eCNY’s structure is not a straightforward option.
The Broader #CBDC Landscape
Most other CBDCs remain conservative by design. They function as digital cash equivalents with no built-in yield, prioritising control and stability over innovation. This makes China’s move difficult to replicate in the short term.
India’s Digital #Rupee is one potential exception. With policy rates above 5%, there is theoretical room for a yield-bearing eRupee if the Reserve Bank of India chose to pursue that path. Even a small return could materially change domestic adoption incentives.
Nigeria’s eNaira has accumulated real-world experience as one of the earliest CBDCs, while Russia’s digital ruble emerged primarily as a workaround after sanctions disrupted access to global payment rails. Neither currently offers yield, limiting their competitive scope.
The Strategic Takeaway
The yield-bearing eCNY is not about headline returns. It is about redesigning money to reward usage and retention at the sovereign level. If adoption expands through trade networks, this model could quietly reshape how digital currencies compete, not just on stability or ideology, but on tangible economic incentives.
