Stablecoins are racing ahead of tokenized securities in market adoption—and it's not a coincidence. The gap comes down to regulation. Existing legal frameworks have created a much smoother path for stablecoin proliferation, while tokenized securities face stricter compliance requirements and longer approval cycles under current securities laws. New regulatory frameworks are starting to emerge, but the old structures still hold more weight. This regulatory friction is the primary reason we're seeing stablecoins gain traction across trading platforms and payments while security tokens remain in earlier development stages.

Stablecoins have already taken off, while security tokens are still climbing... It's a regulatory issue. The regulatory oversight is indeed worlds apart. Stablecoins can be used with a passive approach, while security tokens face various approval bottlenecks. Honestly, even with a new framework, it might not make much difference; the old powers are too deeply rooted. It's not that stablecoins are better, it's just that the regulatory paths differ. At this rate, security tokens will have to wait several more years to catch up.

Stablecoins really outpace security tokens this time, regulations are really a bottleneck. Without an update to the regulatory framework, security tokens will have to wait patiently. Alright, it seems we still have to wait for the new rules to be implemented. The popularity of stablecoins is justified; the compliance costs are vastly different. That's why we only see stablecoins everywhere, while security tokens are still in their infancy. The current legal framework seems to favor stablecoins. Wait, when will security tokens turn the tide? The victory of stablecoins is actually a victory for regulation. I just want to know when the new framework will really take effect. Honestly, the old rules are still too strict; the new ones are coming too slowly.

Stablecoins are able to grow quickly mainly because of lax regulations. STOs are directly blocked, which is just a joke. Regulations always favor the latecomers... Wait, will the new framework really change anything? It still feels like just talk on paper. Stablecoins have been popular for so long, but compliant STOs haven't exploded yet... I really don't understand. It's really about who the policies favor. Right now, it seems to be the era of stablecoins. Human says it will take years for STOs to turn around; this pit is a bit deep. There are so many stablecoins now, it feels a bit excessive. Regulatory frameworks can never keep up with the pace of innovation; the issues still need to be addressed. Based on this trend, STOs probably won't have a chance in the short term.

Stablecoins are popular, but real profits still depend on assets being on the blockchain. Regulation is like this—those with less to lose tend to escape faster. Wait, will security coins really turn around? Has the framework changed, everyone?

Stablecoins are just rule loopholes; security tokens are the future.

Stablecoins are so popular not just because regulators gave the green light, but security coins ended up being unlucky. --- Basically, it's still the same legal framework; the old rules are still tightly restricting security coins. --- Regulation... allowing stablecoins to go freely while making things difficult for token securities. No wonder the gap is so big. --- It seems regulators haven't really thought it through, so stablecoins took off first, while security coins are still waiting painfully for approval. --- Even with a new framework coming, it won't help; the old one still dominates, anyway, stablecoins have already taken off. --- It's just unfriendly regulation—stablecoins found loopholes, while token securities are stuck. This game was decided long ago. --- Compliance is too complicated; stablecoins are simple and straightforward. No wonder everyone is rushing over here.
