  • If stablecoin companies make a habit of freezing their currency, people will stop using their product. I trust the market to be able to respond accordingly. There is plenty of competition in the crypto market.

  • That is yet to be decided, and is what negotiating is for. Even if the Us provided support through its cyber-security decisions, in exchange for information on credible hacking threats, we can sharply increase the defense on these cyber companies. Furthermore, we can do so without getting the government overly involved with a private asset of American citizens, while still providing extra defense and a deterrent to potential hackers.
