Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Banks in the industry have unleashed on clarity and over
- 0:03Speaker 1: one hundred amendments have actually been filed. Today, we're going
- 0:06Speaker 1: to break it all down with an expert that I
- 0:07Speaker 1: think you will love, so stick around for that. I
- 0:10Speaker 1: do want to thank our sponsor, and that is ok x,
- 0:12Speaker 1: where you guys can get out there and do a lot,
- 0:14Speaker 1: including trading two hundred bucks to unlock one hundred. So
- 0:18Speaker 1: if you're ready for a volatile market, this is one
- 0:21Speaker 1: of the places you can go and okx dot com
- 0:24Speaker 1: check it out. We're going to leave a link down below.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Let's go over to a clip that I want to
- 0:29Speaker 1: get into because there is a lot happening now. As
- 0:32Speaker 1: of yesterday, we knew that the markup was occurring tomorrow,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and now, of course our anticipation appears to be happening.
- 0:39Speaker 1: So take a look at this.
- 0:40Speaker 2: One cryptomarket structure legislation going to markup on Thursday, which
- 0:45Speaker 2: would be a historic moment, and the energy here is
- 0:47Speaker 2: just palpable. Thirty five percent chance of passage at this
- 0:52Speaker 2: point in time.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I was at sixty last week, so now I'm ninety.
- 0:57Speaker 1: I think the banks could still derail it. I mean frankly,
- 1:00Speaker 1: I think they're being disingenuous. I think they're playing a
- 1:03Speaker 1: cynical game.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Three hundred and nine pages, really, three hundred and nine pages,
- 1:07Speaker 2: like everybody had time to read through that.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I'm reading a self help book right now. I can't
- 1:11Speaker 1: read it in one day. I'm dehydrated. I don't want
- 1:15Speaker 1: to put fear in everybody. I don't find myself agreeing
- 1:17Speaker 1: with Schumer on many things in the world. I kind
- 1:20Speaker 1: of get it at this point. This is a big hurdle.
- 1:22Speaker 2: And when you see things like this Housing Act in there,
- 1:24Speaker 2: you wonder, and you have the banks up the Republican's
- 1:27Speaker 2: ass like.
- 1:28Speaker 4: But my money still lies on the bankers. They're going
- 1:31Speaker 4: to win that battle.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening, all right. So let
- 1:35Speaker 1: me bring in Rebecca Reddick, who is coming in from
- 1:38Speaker 1: Gito Labs. How are you there, Rebecca. If we put
- 1:43Speaker 1: this up yesterday, was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday,
- 1:48Speaker 1: and it was our anticipation of one hundred amendments, well
- 1:52Speaker 1: we missed it by a little bit, so one hundred
- 1:53Speaker 1: and thirty five amendments with that many coming in and
- 1:57Speaker 1: the kind of thing that we're seeing right now, First
- 2:00Speaker 1: of all, what was your first take on what you
- 2:03Speaker 1: saw coming out of DC this morning.
- 2:06Speaker 2: You know, this number of amendments isn't surprising, quite honestly,
- 2:10Speaker 2: And we saw maybe this level or close to this
- 2:13Speaker 2: level last time.
- 2:14Speaker 4: The markept was.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Anticipated before it got shut down in January, so you know,
- 2:19Speaker 2: we were expecting this.
- 2:20Speaker 4: I think we were.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Expecting a lot of the types of amendments we saw,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and as your question from the clip show, we certainly
- 2:27Speaker 2: were expecting a number from.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Elizabeth Warren too.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Well you've got it right here. More
- 2:33Speaker 1: than one hundred minutes have been submitted ahead of the
- 2:35Speaker 1: Centate Banking Committee Market vote. This is all coming in
- 2:38Speaker 1: right now. There were some wild ones too, coming in
- 2:40Speaker 1: from Elizabeth Warren, everybody that had amendments locked in. You've
- 2:45Speaker 1: got also books there, britt There, Cortes, Master Mastow Gago,
- 2:50Speaker 1: which we anticipated a lot there, and then of course
- 2:53Speaker 1: the Warren amendments, which have pretty much kind of taken
- 2:56Speaker 1: over the bottom half of the document other than Reid.
- 2:59Speaker 1: So the point is we've got a lot. But this
- 3:02Speaker 1: goes into anti DeFi and that is one of the
- 3:05Speaker 1: things that I'm most concerned with. Let me zoom in
- 3:07Speaker 1: on these right here, which is coming in from the
- 3:11Speaker 1: DeFi Education Fund with AMM sixteen, this of course is
- 3:16Speaker 1: rewriting BRCA. This is a problem. This is a big problem.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Then you've got seventeen also striking protections for non controlling developers.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I mean, this is really bad for DeFi. The way
- 3:28Speaker 1: it is right now, it almost negates the entire DeFi
- 3:33Speaker 1: section of the original proposal. So what do you make
- 3:37Speaker 1: of this so far in terms of what's happening right
- 3:40Speaker 1: now in regards to this great question.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Let's break it down a little bit so your viewers
- 3:45Speaker 2: who may not have as much detail on policy can understand. So,
- 3:48Speaker 2: the BRCA is a blockchain regulatory certain dat It's really
- 3:52Speaker 2: important because.
- 3:52Speaker 4: That's what that does.
- 3:53Speaker 2: And it was originally proposed in the House by in
- 3:56Speaker 2: a bi person way, by two big longtime crypto after
- 4:01Speaker 2: that non controlling software developers. So if you don't take custody,
- 4:04Speaker 2: and you don't take control of user funds, you will
- 4:07Speaker 2: not be designated as a money transmitter who has to
- 4:11Speaker 2: registers of money services business under federal law and then
- 4:13Speaker 2: take on all the obligations of the Bank Secrecy Act.
- 4:16Speaker 2: And it's really really important because as we've seen from
- 4:20Speaker 2: the Tornado cashroom and Storm case and other investigations, the
- 4:23Speaker 2: Samurai case, things like that there were questions under a
- 4:28Speaker 2: criminal part or part of.
- 4:29Speaker 3: The Criminal Code a section nineteen sixty.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Where people were being charged for failing to registers of
- 4:36Speaker 2: money services business when they were defied developers. Obviously, some
- 4:40Speaker 2: of the facts of the cases I mentioned are very specific,
- 4:43Speaker 2: and we're not going to paint everyone with that brush,
- 4:45Speaker 2: but we do need to have developers in this country
- 4:48Speaker 2: have those protections, and so stripping out protections for non
- 4:52Speaker 2: controlling software.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Developers will chill innovation in.
- 4:56Speaker 4: The United States.
- 4:57Speaker 2: And one of the things that Clarity is really meant
- 4:58Speaker 2: to do is to give us all who are builders.
- 5:01Speaker 3: In this space the ability to move forward and.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Innovate without fear and just being able to run our
- 5:07Speaker 2: businesses like many other tech companies in the United States.
- 5:10Speaker 1: And to the point here is this is basically an
- 5:13Speaker 1: innovation killer. Do you think there's a possibility that any
- 5:16Speaker 1: of this sticks.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Senator Cortez Masto has been really out there on making
- 5:21Speaker 2: sure law enforcement has all the tools that it needs
- 5:24Speaker 2: and also ensuring that we have people who we can
- 5:27Speaker 2: hold accountable, even in these autonomous and permissionless software systems.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I don't know if these amendments will hold, but I
- 5:36Speaker 2: think they may be put out there in order to
- 5:38Speaker 2: try to push a compromise in some way.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Shape or form.
- 5:41Speaker 1: This was one of the amendments that came in from Warren.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Actually four of the amendments, I guess in reference to
- 5:47Speaker 1: capping credit card interest rates now was thrown into this. Hey,
- 5:51Speaker 1: if you like twenty five Okay, not twenty five, maybe
- 5:53Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, ten. You know, it just seems like this
- 5:56Speaker 1: is a little bit silly in terms of the kind
- 5:58Speaker 1: of addressing of a major bill that really resets the
- 6:03Speaker 1: financial structure here in the United States. Is this I mean,
- 6:07Speaker 1: you've been in DC long enough, you've seen a lot
- 6:09Speaker 1: of this kind of going back and forth. Is this typical?
- 6:12Speaker 4: Honestly?
- 6:12Speaker 2: Yes, people have interests they want to see if they
- 6:15Speaker 2: can push them through. They least want people like us
- 6:18Speaker 2: to be talking about them and recognizing them because it
- 6:21Speaker 2: just gives more eartime to some of their causes.
- 6:23Speaker 3: So I do actually think this is typical. I don't
- 6:26Speaker 3: know that may be a little cynical.
- 6:28Speaker 4: But I do think it's difficult.
- 6:29Speaker 1: One of the I think the most idiotic was this
- 6:32Speaker 1: one right here where Jack Read was prohibiting crypto from
- 6:35Speaker 1: being used as legal tender for paying taxes. So now
- 6:40Speaker 1: they don't want crypto as tax money. I guess in general,
- 6:42Speaker 1: I think it's basically saying.
- 6:43Speaker 2: That the government can't accept like bitcoin instead of cash
- 6:47Speaker 2: or something like that. And we're still at the place
- 6:49Speaker 2: where under the tax laws in the US, cryptos categorized
- 6:52Speaker 2: as property and you can't use your property to pay
- 6:54Speaker 2: your taxes. So I don't even know, if I didn't
- 6:57Speaker 2: even really.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Understand this well why it's in there, would think that
- 7:00Speaker 1: would find its way into an actual tax regulation. This
- 7:04Speaker 1: was another issue of the situation where the bankers were
- 7:08Speaker 1: pushing back saying, hey, we don't really agree with any
- 7:11Speaker 1: of this, and this was in reference to debating on
- 7:14Speaker 1: X or social media in general. You know, we we
- 7:16Speaker 1: think social is the place to debate that. Unfortunately, almost
- 7:20Speaker 1: all of business, next generation investors and really anybody that
- 7:25Speaker 1: understands what's going this is where the debate is happening,
- 7:28Speaker 1: and banking should have been there.
- 7:30Speaker 4: Why the crypto policy.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Sort of power structure has come from X And the
- 7:38Speaker 2: longer you're in DC, the more you hear the staffers
- 7:41Speaker 2: read it or we can't do this in the bill
- 7:44Speaker 2: because Senator or Representative X, Y and Z reads Twitter.
- 7:48Speaker 2: And when this one Twitter personality says they don't like
- 7:50Speaker 2: this provision of.
- 7:51Speaker 4: The bill, that I'll have a ripple effect.
- 7:53Speaker 2: So I'm saying we're very professional and trying to downplay
- 7:57Speaker 2: policy debates happening on x really not staying current to
- 8:01Speaker 2: where things are and to understanding how power and the
- 8:05Speaker 2: shift of power has really cheap you know, occurred in
- 8:08Speaker 2: the last few years. Beined back when we were having
- 8:11Speaker 2: debates about the broker rule many years ago.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Crypto really got things shut down in a different way
- 8:18Speaker 3: because they used Twitter.
- 8:20Speaker 2: So I think we's it's fairly narrow minded or antiquidd
- 8:25Speaker 2: not to think that.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Policy well crapping on it.
- 8:27Speaker 1: It definitely shows their hand in terms of not being
- 8:30Speaker 1: ready for next generation finance, which is the issue right now. However,
- 8:34Speaker 1: over the weekend you had the ABA, the American Bankers
- 8:36Speaker 1: Association absolutely got nuts on sending more letters. You get
- 8:41Speaker 1: eight thousand letters to the Senate offices, all urging against
- 8:44Speaker 1: the stablecorn yield compromise. Will these letters make a difference
- 8:49Speaker 1: to the Senators that are there right now reviewing this markup.
- 8:53Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to be.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Untrue to our people because to go back to the
- 8:56Speaker 2: broker rule, we did a whole lot of writing campaign.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Now it was automated, and we had the like forty
- 9:00Speaker 2: thousand litters. I don't remember exactly the number. I don't
- 9:05Speaker 2: know if the letters themselves are going to make a difference.
- 9:07Speaker 2: I do think the way that banks are I think
- 9:10Speaker 2: putting pressure on particular members of Congress may have a
- 9:16Speaker 2: bearing when things get out of markup and onto the floor,
- 9:19Speaker 2: But that remains to be seen that you know, I
- 9:22Speaker 2: think people do like a writing camp saying I'm not
- 9:23Speaker 2: sure this is going to change anything in the markup.
- 9:25Speaker 1: You look at what's standing with Crypto has done. The
- 9:29Speaker 1: banking lobbist popped out there eight AK obviously stand with
- 9:32Speaker 1: Crypto doing much more. In terms of frequency. There are
- 9:35Speaker 1: three hundred thousand emails in the past few months, one
- 9:38Speaker 1: point five million times in terms of contacting lawmaker. That's insane.
- 9:43Speaker 1: How is this not just a slam dunk with all
- 9:45Speaker 1: of these sinners one point five million contacts? How would
- 9:50Speaker 1: this not be the will of the people?
- 9:52Speaker 3: You know, that's a great question.
- 9:53Speaker 2: It goes back to what you said before, which I
- 9:56Speaker 2: haven't heard a ton of people say, but I've long
- 9:58Speaker 2: time felt this bill will be the most sweeping change
- 10:02Speaker 2: to financial law and regulation that we've seen since Frank,
- 10:06Speaker 2: which was you know, almost two decades ago at this point,
- 10:09Speaker 2: or a little less than that. And I think that
- 10:13Speaker 2: it also comes with this technology bent to it that
- 10:19Speaker 2: has given concerns, you know, by various either older members
- 10:23Speaker 2: of Congress or people who are less familiar with how
- 10:25Speaker 2: technology works.
- 10:26Speaker 3: And there is some fear around technology.
- 10:29Speaker 4: And DC by some. And so I think seeing.
- 10:32Speaker 2: This huge overhaul of certain types of financial laws that
- 10:35Speaker 2: come along with technology may make it hard for people to.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Just one hundred percent jump on board.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Plus bills take a long time to do.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Not everybody is always, even if it makes sense, one
- 10:45Speaker 2: hundred percent on board, because they have different constituents.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And you know, people saying it will impact them in
- 10:50Speaker 3: different ways.
- 10:50Speaker 2: So I don't know if I think, you know, just
- 10:52Speaker 2: the letter writing campaigns or the phone calls are going
- 10:54Speaker 2: to be the answer in full.
- 10:56Speaker 1: What about the lobbies coming from some of these unions.
- 11:01Speaker 1: You've got the police lobby now targeting developer protections. This
- 11:05Speaker 1: is going right after Section two R six oh four.
- 11:08Speaker 1: So what do you think about that? I mean, they're
- 11:10Speaker 1: pulling out all the stops here. It's coming from all angles.
- 11:13Speaker 4: They are six o four is the BRCA. It's what
- 11:16Speaker 4: we were talking about earlier.
- 11:19Speaker 2: And I think that one this does not the BRCA
- 11:24Speaker 2: doesn't take away any tool that law enforcement has, and
- 11:28Speaker 2: it doesn't take away the ability to use faederal criminal
- 11:31Speaker 2: laws either.
- 11:33Speaker 4: It doesn't actually touch what law enforcement does.
- 11:35Speaker 2: And I think there are other parts of the bill
- 11:37Speaker 2: that are going to enable better tools for law enforcement
- 11:40Speaker 2: in many different ways. And I think focusing solely narrowly
- 11:43Speaker 2: on the BRCA and not looking at all the other
- 11:45Speaker 2: tools that the build will facilitate for law enforcement is
- 11:48Speaker 2: you know.
- 11:49Speaker 3: It's just my epic. It's looking at one thing. But
- 11:51Speaker 3: this has look DeFi and the.
- 11:52Speaker 4: VRCA has been.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Yeah, tip of the spear in many ways.
- 11:58Speaker 2: And I will say the Defied Education Fund has been
- 12:00Speaker 2: an amazing advocate on this front.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Do you think there is any chance that this might
- 12:06Speaker 1: end up on the negotiation table like we're going to
- 12:10Speaker 1: give you this if you don't if you give us this.
- 12:13Speaker 2: There already has been language that has been suggested about
- 12:17Speaker 2: intent that has been added to this version of the
- 12:20Speaker 2: VRCA versus the January version of the VRCA, which says,
- 12:25Speaker 2: if you have actual intent to be a money transmitter
- 12:29Speaker 2: and to facilitate improper transfers of money, then you don't
- 12:33Speaker 2: get protected by the Session.
- 12:34Speaker 4: That's us codify the law. So that's fine.
- 12:37Speaker 2: So there may be some additional negotiation around language, but elimination.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Of the DRCA from this bill is a red line.
- 12:44Speaker 4: It's a red line for the White House.
- 12:45Speaker 2: They've already been very very clear about that, and it
- 12:48Speaker 2: is definitely a red line for the industry.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Listen, we've got some crypto professional fud actors out there.
- 12:54Speaker 1: One of them Ben Mackenzie. You know, he's got the
- 12:57Speaker 1: Order of Easy Money. Everyone is lying to his new
- 13:01Speaker 1: you know, screening of his documentary it went out. There
- 13:03Speaker 1: lots of pr around this timing. It's very interesting, you know,
- 13:09Speaker 1: obviously coming at the same time that all of this
- 13:11Speaker 1: is happening. What do you make of these professional I
- 13:14Speaker 1: feel like these are professional actors now that are in
- 13:16Speaker 1: the market.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Yeah, well you were much more politic than I thought
- 13:20Speaker 2: you did. I think the timing was very deliberate, and
- 13:22Speaker 2: I will tell you the word coming out of DC
- 13:24Speaker 2: last night is that it was not a well attended screening,
- 13:28Speaker 2: So do with that, but you will.
- 13:32Speaker 3: And I think that people have made.
- 13:36Speaker 2: A profession out of being cryptoskeptics, and we've seen it
- 13:40Speaker 2: and it's a lot of those people have fallen out,
- 13:43Speaker 2: and I don't think it is going to end well
- 13:46Speaker 2: because it's I mean, to have this type of three
- 13:49Speaker 2: hundred and nine pages of a bill means this is
- 13:53Speaker 2: a serious industry doing serious things and we need serious
- 13:56Speaker 2: laws for it too.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. Latest update is that can will vote yes.
- 14:02Speaker 1: It is I don't know if this is coming out
- 14:05Speaker 1: as fact that these are coming across the wires right
- 14:08Speaker 1: now basically saying hey, we're looking at going into this.
- 14:11Speaker 1: He's got to deal with Chairman Scott. What do you
- 14:14Speaker 1: make of this? Do you think this would possibly sway
- 14:16Speaker 1: things a bit?
- 14:18Speaker 2: And I think this is getting out of committee regardless,
- 14:20Speaker 2: And the question is then when we'll get to the
- 14:22Speaker 2: Senate floor. I think the deal with cham has gotten
- 14:25Speaker 2: Creating fiduciary duty for people within the crypto world is interesting.
- 14:29Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's a euphemism for ethics, because
- 14:32Speaker 2: obviously that's still a big issue that hasn't been the
- 14:34Speaker 2: resolved yet.
- 14:34Speaker 1: But I think that maybe all right, So that's at
- 14:37Speaker 1: least that's somewhat of a positive sign. I think it
- 14:39Speaker 1: also boils down to where we stand on the senators,
- 14:43Speaker 1: especially on the Democratic side, that are aligning. Masto is
- 14:47Speaker 1: one of the key ones that we've talked about with
- 14:50Speaker 1: a couple of other analysts out there. Let's go to
- 14:52Speaker 1: the Securitized news because this was interesting right here, Securitized
- 14:56Speaker 1: Jump Trading and Jupiter Exchange now launching fully on chain
- 15:00Speaker 1: regulated trading for token is ised equities. Do you think
- 15:03Speaker 1: that Were you expecting this to ever happen? Because they
- 15:06Speaker 1: were kind of anti this for quite some time.
- 15:09Speaker 2: So I don't know if I think this is going
- 15:10Speaker 2: to be permissionless, though I think these are permissioned pools
- 15:14Speaker 2: because I don't know exactly how it works. I haven't
- 15:17Speaker 2: looked exactly at the tech, but I don't know if
- 15:20Speaker 2: you can do fully permissionless trading of equity securities yet,
- 15:25Speaker 2: especially when you have the they're actually holding the underlying
- 15:29Speaker 2: So I think these probably are permission slash KYC.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Pools, But again I could be wrong.
- 15:34Speaker 2: I just don't know anyone who's enabled permissionless equities trading
- 15:38Speaker 2: where the underlying is being held yet.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Okay, so would would JPX do permissionless JTX?
- 15:45Speaker 4: Sorry, oh, JTX.
- 15:48Speaker 3: All those features are yet to come.
- 15:50Speaker 2: We'll launch in July, and I will launch a Spot crypto,
- 15:55Speaker 2: but we will.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Have things being enabled over time, and I'm working.
- 15:58Speaker 1: On the the what you said, of course, I'm feeling
- 16:02Speaker 1: that that might be a possibility. Don't No, I can't
- 16:06Speaker 1: read you right now. I can't read you if you've
- 16:08Speaker 1: given me anything there. When you look at Purps, Solana
- 16:12Speaker 1: secured the Purpse handle on X do you think we'll
- 16:15Speaker 1: see us Purpse after Clarity?
- 16:18Speaker 3: So Clarity doesn't touch Purpse at all.
- 16:21Speaker 2: Actually, it only touches Spot crypto trading and would enable
- 16:25Speaker 2: the CFTC to have jurisdiction over Spot commodity trading in
- 16:29Speaker 2: the digital asset space, which they don't have jurisdiction over
- 16:32Speaker 2: Spot now except for fraud and anti manipulation.
- 16:35Speaker 4: So no market maunifulation, no fraud with.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Respect to Spot, but otherwise they have no jurisdiction. They
- 16:40Speaker 2: just actually do complicated derivatives. Clarity doesn't touch any types
- 16:43Speaker 2: of derivatives that are already regulated by the Commodity Exchange Act.
- 16:48Speaker 2: And so what's what we need to have PERPS trading
- 16:51Speaker 2: in the US is guidance and rulemaking from the CFTC.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Do you think Selig will roll that out? Yeah? Okay,
- 16:58Speaker 1: so it's coming, yes, all right, So let's get into
- 17:01Speaker 1: our lightly row with you. Clarity markup is a surprising
- 17:04Speaker 1: bipartisan success. Do you think that will actually happen? Yeah, no,
- 17:08Speaker 1: I'm in agreement with you. There not a chance, but
- 17:11Speaker 1: we'll work our way through it. If markup fails, it's over. Disagree, disagree?
- 17:17Speaker 1: What is the vehicle out of this mess?
- 17:20Speaker 4: Great question.
- 17:21Speaker 2: I've been through four or five different crypto market structure
- 17:27Speaker 2: bills in my policy life in the crypto space.
- 17:31Speaker 3: This won't be over.
- 17:32Speaker 4: I think.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Look, this is the closest we've ever band and.
- 17:34Speaker 2: We really need to work together across the line now
- 17:37Speaker 2: and it will be not positive for the industry. But
- 17:40Speaker 2: I don't think everybody will walk away from the table.
- 17:42Speaker 4: They will find another opportunity.
- 17:44Speaker 3: They will make whatever deal is the need to make.
- 17:46Speaker 4: But I don't think people are going to let it go.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Clarity will be meddled with after successful
- 17:52Speaker 1: markup and become the opposite of what we wanted, which
- 17:55Speaker 1: feels like it's already there.
- 17:57Speaker 2: You think we'll be well, I disagree it will be meddled,
- 18:00Speaker 2: but I don't think it will become the opposite of
- 18:01Speaker 2: what we wanted.
- 18:02Speaker 3: So as a lawyer, because they disagree to the whole thing, all.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to be in the middle there because
- 18:07Speaker 1: I'm concerned about that right now. Because the power is there.
- 18:11Speaker 1: What will Democrats mention more during the markup? You think
- 18:14Speaker 1: they'll go after the criminality or something like the ethics issue.
- 18:18Speaker 4: That's such a great question.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Well, if world liberty is a euphemism.
- 18:22Speaker 2: For ethics, they will talk a lot about ethics because
- 18:25Speaker 2: it's just not a subtle.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Issue, you know enough.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Yet I'm going to go opposite. I think they're going
- 18:30Speaker 1: after the criminality of it, because that's it's just, you know,
- 18:33Speaker 1: it's Warren's base, you know, I.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Know, And honestly that was my first instinct, and I
- 18:39Speaker 2: really hate going against my gut.
- 18:40Speaker 4: But you know, let's see what it.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Citadel and DTCC are secretly behind the anti DeFi Amendment
- 18:48Speaker 1: to protect TRADFI.
- 18:50Speaker 3: I don't think that the dcc CC.
- 18:53Speaker 2: But I do think Simadel Sefma and others certainly are
- 18:56Speaker 2: pushing anti defight.
- 18:59Speaker 1: I'll go middle of the world there, I'm gonna I'm
- 19:01Speaker 1: going to in agreement with Citadel. Clarity passing equals a
- 19:05Speaker 1: similar scenario like what Ripple did when they won their
- 19:08Speaker 1: court case, but now it would happen for every blockchain.
- 19:10Speaker 1: In terms of the market, what do you think, Yes.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about a pump, but yeah, I
- 19:14Speaker 2: think it would be very net positive for the market.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Posive in the middle. Yeah, you got you, all right,
- 19:21Speaker 1: I think it's going to be net positive. Jt X.
- 19:23Speaker 1: There we go, unleash his products the day after Trump
- 19:26Speaker 1: signs clarity. Yes, that was that was That was a
- 19:32Speaker 1: softball question. So Rebecca, all right.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Layup, well it has you know what I had to
- 19:36Speaker 3: do that timing in.
- 19:37Speaker 1: My head when the buildings signed. Oh yes, okay, yeah,
- 19:41Speaker 1: Well it's summer, so you guys got to get working
- 19:43Speaker 1: over there. MTV revenue will ferociously return after clarity. Do
- 19:47Speaker 1: you think that will happen?
- 19:48Speaker 2: I mean it comes from usage of blockchains in many ways, right,
- 19:52Speaker 2: there are positive uses of a gene revenue and from
- 19:57Speaker 2: that perspective.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Sure with you on that one, and we move into this,
- 20:02Speaker 1: what would theoretically happen if GDO decided Juda Labs decided
- 20:06Speaker 1: it wanted to go public?
- 20:08Speaker 4: Wow?
- 20:10Speaker 2: You know, my lawyer brain is exploding right now, but
- 20:14Speaker 2: my excited brain is also doing the same.
- 20:18Speaker 1: We're gonna go with unity, Unity, all right, Okay, I
- 20:21Speaker 1: can't answer that question. I don't know. I don't have
- 20:23Speaker 1: any inside coverage here.
