Ok fair enough. Here’s something I’m happy to share. After today’s big Senate Banking Committee win on the GENIUS Act, this is my new wallpaper.

Big win for stablecoins today

A reminder that Sherrod Brown (voted out) and Elizabeth Warren were the reason a bipartisan bill from the House last year never had a chance to see the Senate floor.

Here's a rough overview of the bill:
- Federal oversight in most cases
- Increased transparency requirements and public disclosures, i.e. are stablecoins backed with real assets
- Some compliance stuff

Ultimately, will be a boon for fintech / tradfi adoption. Which will normalize using public blockchains for more practical stuff.

I would expect in the medium term this benefits decentralized stablecoins like DAI.
