But I think from our perspective, the important thing is that after this many years of kind of regulatory gray area and an environment that favors, as I was describing before, kind of a race to the bottom,

The important thing from our perspective is we get a regulatory framework passed.

And, you know, we think the Clarity Act, while not perfect, is significantly better than the status quo.

And so I hope that those issues are resolved.

debate right now yeah yeah in the bill essentially i would say the banks got mostly what they wanted which is that in the bill you cannot pay uh you you cannot pay interest on balances um you you can pay there's it's i think the exact language is anything that's

functionally or economically similar to a bank account and there's further legal clauses.

What you can do is sort of more complicated things like if somebody did multiple transactions and if they did sort of a formula that's not functionally or economically similar to paying out on a balance, like you can give them rewards for using their stablecoin wallet twice a month at Walmart, Walmart could give them some kind of reward back.

Which is what they'd asked for, the banks had basically asked for, and the industry, you know, it's all been sort of in the press.

There was a, you know, sort of a prolonged discussion, and they kind of got what they wanted.

they seemed like they got what they had asked for, but then remained, I don't know, seemed to then want more.

So I think going any farther, you start to ban, for example, I think, you know, you start to ban things like Starbucks rewards points and things, right?

So, I mean, it's, I think it's kind of gotten to the, as far as it can go.

And essentially, you know, it was a compromise that was somewhat painful for the crypto industry.

But, you know, in the context of the broader bill,

We think it nets out.

You know, we're still very supportive of the overall bill.

I mean, these are, yeah, these are massive organizations, I guess, with, you know, like, they're almost like countries or something, the JP Morgan.

So there are many different factions and things.

But yes, every, as far as I know, every big bank, including JP Morgan, have significant blockchain efforts.

And I think if clarity passes, you'll see a lot of those efforts will roll out in a significant way.
