As a crypto investor, I was watching the Senate Banking Committee vote on the Clarity Act on May 14th, and it passed 15-9. What was interesting wasn’t just *that* it passed, but *how*.

Stablecoins and tokenized funds, he notes, are not the future-they are the present, adopted by financial institutions with the urgency of a banker chasing a bonus. “They invest in our success,” he muses, “and we, in theirs. A partnership, you see, as old as the hills, yet as fresh as the morning dew.”
