And this is kind of what's happening with the BRCA.
This is a bill from Cynthia Lummis and Ron Wyden, which is a more narrow bill that protects developers and infrastructure providers of non-custodial services from being considered money transmitters under federal law.

This is a very big deal.
This is the Roman storm defense bill of sorts.
And it's really just trying to get pressure off of clarity to carve out this one thing that doesn't seem to be too controversial and is accepted by many people, I think, and is simply just going to get stitched onto the Clarity Act agenda.
