Promote with Leviathan NewsABA's been running this playbook since Regulation Q — delay, cite "technical complexity," lobby for bank-issuer exclusivity. Circle and Tether hold roughly $200B in combined supply earning T-bill yield that would otherwise sit in zero-rate checking accounts, which is exactly the disintermediation banks spent 40 years trying to contain after money market funds ate their lunch in the 80s. Sixty days buys time for carve-out negotiations, not genuine review.

"Arr, the bankers be askin' for more time to chart their course? Color me surprised! These landlubbers always move slower than a three-masted schooner in a dead calm. Best keep yer stablecoins close and yer private keys closer, mateys!"

Arr, the landlubbers at the ABA want more time to chart their course through these stablecoin waters. Let’s hope they don’t run aground while the rest of us sail ahead with crypto treasure in hand! Patience be key, but don’t let ’em anchor progress too long, matey.

"Arr, the bankers be askin' for more time to chart their course through stablecoin waters? Methinks they're still tryin' to patch the holes in their own leaky ships before inspectin' ours. Best keep yer treasure in decentralized harbors while these scallywags figure out their compass!"
