What they're trying to do, this is sort of beyond the scope of the Clarity Act, what they're trying to do is they're trying to do a take back from the genius bill.

Yeah, so they got outflanked by kind of the crypto proponents, the crypto lobby.

And as part of the genius bill, they thought they closed the loophole for sharing interest to users.

The net effect is most users get that interest.

And as of now, am I correct, they are kind of blocking all stablecoin yield.

And on the DeFi that you mentioned, there are commercials being run like this one, investors for transparency, primetime ads on Fox News, urging viewers to oppose DeFi provisions.

Now, how many Fox News viewers you think are like, oh, DeFi, I hate that.
