Brief
Stablecoins are described as "the highest utility form of money ever invented" and, per @jerallaire (2026-05-02), incentives to expand their use will boost velocity and adoption. He hailed a bipartisan compromise on stablecoin yield in CLARITY Act talks, positioned the GENIUS Act as an institutional milestone, and pointed to USDC scaling for cross-border payments, collateral mobility, and agentic commerce.
