@jakeclaverqfop: US support for Japan appears to be stability assistance. The counterintuitive reading is that it adds leverage to a system that needs to become more unstable before the transition to digital financial infrastructure becomes unavoidable. Ripple publicly advocates for the Clarity Act while simultaneously building a moat that makes them the dominant player whether it passes or not. Watching what institutions actually do, rather than what they say publicly, tends to be more informative.
