Exquisite Negotiations at the White House: Crypto, Banking, and the Great Deadlock

It appears that progress on the esteemed legislation, known most grandly as the CLARITY Act, has been suspended like a lady’s fan in the presence of unwarranted scandal, chiefly owing to the growing discord between those who deal in cold coin and those who whisper sweet nothings to blockchain. The occasion promises to be as lively as a ball, with the White House’s own crypto council orchestrating the discourse among industry trade’s darlings and dissidents alike.
