[00:00:00][music] >> The SEC just gave stablecoin founders a huge win. Some stablecoins are now officially not [music] securities. But here's the catch, most stablecoins still don't qualify. The SEC now defines a stablecoin as a crypto asset designed to maintain a stable value, usually pegged to something like the US dollar. But here's the key shift, they created [music] a specific category, payment stablecoins under the genius act. And if you fall into that category, you're not a security. Under the genius framework, you cannot pay interest or yield just for holding the stablecoin. This forces founders and entrepreneurs to make a decision. Are you building a payment system or a yield product? Because trying to do both is where legal problems will start. The winners in this space will be the teams that design legally coherent products from day one.
