0:00.0	Bankless Nation, it is the last week of March time for the Bankless Weekly roll-up.
0:09.5	Did the banks in the crypto industry reach a compromise on the great stable coin yield debate for the Clarity Act?
0:15.9	That's the question today.
0:17.1	And the answer is like, maybe?
0:19.0	And then there's also the question for Cryptonatives. Do we even want the Clarity Act at all if it doesn't give us stable coin yield? Wow, spicy question. Wow. How dare you, Ryan? What do you mean we don't need the Clarity Act? I thought that was the whole thing. I don't know. I'm becoming a little less convinced, but maybe you're on the other
0:37.7	side of that debate. No, not necessarily. I kind of what you're, I think you're alluding to is kind of in line with Mike Selegg and Paul Atkins of like, we gave you guys clarity. And so now, the importance of the actual clarity act might be a little bit not as high as it once was. We're going to talk about all of that. I'm going to get Ryan's takes.
0:54.4	You're going to get my takes, too. But back into the
0:56.5	macro front, Trump declared a little bit, not as high as it once was. We're going to talk about all of that. I'm going to get Ryan's takes.
0:54.5	You're going to get my takes too.
0:55.6	But back into the macro front,
0:57.3	Trump declared that the war in Iran is already won.
1:01.6	Iran this week said, no, no, we're still fighting, actually.
1:05.3	This is not over.
1:06.2	You are stuck here with us.
1:08.2	And also, Tom Lee may have just launched the biggest
1:10.9	ETH staking platform in the world, which makes sense because he's got a heck of a lot of
1:14.9	Eve. He can just make it. The largest platform in the world, yeah. It seems to be what he did.
1:18.6	The New York Stock Exchange announced its partner to tokenize stocks on chain. Which
1:23.5	chains is the big question, and who gets it? And then lastly, Google says Q Day. Q Day is the day that Quantum comes and... Destroyed everything. Messes up all of our stuff. It's Y2K, but all over again, but now it's Q Day. It comes around, and it's just around the corner. Escalating, making the timeline earlier, they think QDA could be here as early as 2029.
1:45.2	Ethereum has a plan for quantum.
1:47.5	We had the episode with Justin Drake come out this week.
1:49.4	What about the rest of crypto?
