And as part of the genius bill, they thought they closed the loophole for sharing interest to users.
And indeed, issuers of stablecoins cannot do that.
But exchanges or other protocols can provide that interest.
The net effect is most users get that interest.
Now they're trying to shut that down.
And they're not making a very convincing case, I think, for American citizens and why this is good for American citizens.
But of course, they have the ear and campaign of many of the lawmakers who are weighing in on this.
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.

Look at this.
Tell your senator, pass crypto legislation without DeFi provisions.
It's actually wild.
