0:00.0	Bankless Nation is the third week of June. It's time for the bankless weekly roll-up. Man, an exciting week
0:08.6	this week. We got the Genius Act. It just passed in the Senate. And is the Secretary of Treasury
0:13.0	bullposting on crypto? David, he called for $3.7 trillion in stable coins by the year 2030. That's a pretty
0:20.2	decent bullpost. Did he call for a stable
0:22.1	coin summer? No, we got to get him saying it. That's next. J.P. Morgan is also joining in on
0:30.0	stable coin summer with her own stable coin on the base network. But it's a little bit different
0:35.5	from the rest. So we're going to talk about that. And then Coinbase releases not one, not two, not three, four banger products that we're
0:44.1	going to talk about as well. We're going to rank order our favorites. And overall,

0:59.9	That just popped in your head.
1:01.5	The virus has spread.
1:03.3	Some people on Bankless Discord actually sent me as a Coinbase email.
1:06.4	You know what the title?
1:07.4	You know what the subject of the email was?
1:08.6	It was like their big newsletter they sent out to all their customers. You know what was?
1:11.6	Stablecoin Summer.
1:12.5	Stable Coins Summer is here.
1:15.2	I can't believe how sticky that has gotten.
