## Resource

On Thursday, May 14, the Senate Banking Committee marks up the CLARITY Act in Washington. On the same day, hundreds of Bermudian residents will spend digital dollars at local merchants in Hamilton. One country is still arguing about whether stablecoins are allowed to compete with bank deposits. The other has been quietly running the answer for eight years. In this episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans walks through what's actually in the Section 404 compromise that Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks finalized May 1, what Western Union's official launch of its USDPT stablecoin on May 4 means for the next decade of cross-border payments, and what Premier David Burt's announcements at Consensus Miami signal about the world's first fully on-chain national economy.
