Not all exchanges face restrictions when it comes to crypto savings and wealth management; the key difference lies in the compliance of the revenue sources. For example, a compliant platform's USDC savings yield directly comes from subsidies provided by the stablecoin issuer, effectively making the exchange act as an intermediary that forwards interest, a model that can easily attract regulatory attention. In contrast, the USDT savings yield mechanism of leading exchanges is different—users' earnings are not directly issued by Tether but are instead a share of the profits earned through lending, liquidity provision, and other market activities. This profit model, generated based on market behavior, offers greater flexibility within a compliant framework. Ultimately, the transparency and independence of the revenue sources determine whether wealth management products can operate smoothly. The practical differences among various exchanges in this regard are gradually becoming a reference for industry standardization.

Basically, it's about how exchanges play tricks. Some directly earn by taking subsidies and flipping, while others rely on their own business to feed back. In the eyes of regulators, these two are different.

Oh wow, now I understand. Using USDC subsidies as returns really can't be played like that.

In plain terms, some exchanges have such ugly behavior that they just repost subsidies, and regulators see right through it. The top players are actually more stable, earning their own profits and sharing with users—that's what sustainable really looks like.

Basically, it's about who can make the source of the money look smarter. Direct subsidies are too straightforward and get targeted easily, while indirect methods can last longer.

Basically, it still depends on whether the exchange's strategy is ambitious enough. Making money for yourself and sharing it with users is fine, but directly distributing subsidies is truly risky.

Basically, it's still about the difference in revenue sources—direct subsidies versus earning money yourself and sharing it with you. Regulation prefers the former approach.

Basically, it's about whose underlying logic holds up.

No wonder some exchanges are having a hard time; they chose the wrong model.
