Title III of the Clarity Act has several references suggesting that the surveillance state could take over DeFi.

These must be removed or fixed.

And then five, allowing institutions access to DeFi.

He says Section 308 almost fixes this, but it gets it wrong by imposing burdens on the institutions that will scare them away from DeFi even more than the status quo.

So those are the five things that Jake Stravinsky wants fixed in order to have an A-plus bill.

What do we give up?

Yeah.

I have an idea of what we can give up in order to get this passed.

Because this is still a sticking point.

The president's relations with launching crypto projects is still a sticking point.

Can we just give that to the Democrats?

Let's give them that one.

They can have that.

It's such a long word.

Why are you stuck on that?

Thank you so much for watching.
