    Chairman French Hill on Stablecoin Yield, Midterm Elections, and Why Crypto Clarity Act Will Pass

    Eleanor recently spoke to Chairman French Hill & Rep. William Timmons in Nashville at the Digital Assets and Emerging Tech Policy Summit. In this conversation, we discuss why blockchain should be a core learning curriculum alongside AI and cybersecurity, the ongoing Senate debate over stablecoin yield, why Senate due diligence is normal, how stablecoins will be transitional in the U.S., and bringing crypto payment firms under OCC, FDIC, and Fed oversight. With the 2026 midterms approaching and crypto PAC money ramping up, Rep. Timmons adds that anti-crypto politics are increasingly ill-advised, PAC spending is focused on securing clear rules, and the U.S. must pass market-structure legislation.

    DeFi or Not? The $285M Drift Hack & Franklin Templeton’s Big Crypto Push | Jito Labs & 250 Digital

    Another major hack hit crypto this week, with early analysis pointing to possible involvement from North Korea. Drift Protocol’s $285 million exploit is raising fresh questions about how “decentralized” some DeFi platforms really are and why parts of the Senate’s pending market structure bill aim to address exactly that. We break it all down, plus the latest centralized versus decentralized tensions playing out around Wall Street’s favorite blockchain, Canton Network, with Jito Labs’ Rebecca Rettig. And in TradFi’s continued push into crypto, Franklin Templeton makes another big move, launching Franklin Crypto, a new institutional grade digital asset platform.
