WTF
New pixel 10pro on 5G
@RogersHelps Nope, I hung up after 2 hours. Speeds are terrible. Looking at lots of complaints all over Edmonton.
Quite disappointed since I have been with rogers for so long and never experienced this level of ineptitude
@MikeDelpieroX@RogersHelps@Rogers Apparently, there was a huge outtage that started Friday (aligns with the start of my slow speed). This hasn't been fixed clearly and @Rogers won't admit or fix it .
Im in Edmonton
Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re:
✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins
✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows
We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.
Debate is healthy, but the facts on CLARITY aren’t debatable.
1 - On rewards: Section 404 addresses banks’ purported concerns by barring any digital asset service provider or their affiliate from paying rewards in a manner that is economically or functionally equivalent to the payment of yield on a bank deposit and more (e.g., captures direct and indirect arrangements, includes strict anti-evasion language and civil penalties, etc.). Crypto gave many real concessions here.
2 - On AML/BSA: CLARITY bolsters law enforcement’s authority / capacity to target bad actors and CIF with clear obligations for digital asset companies, coordinated info-sharing mechanisms, protections that close regulatory gaps, increased funding for FinCEN, and much more (see, e.g., sections 201-206, 301-313, 507, 508, 801, 903, etc.).
3 - On benefits to banks: CLARITY ensures banks may engage in a broad range of activities, including providing digital asset custodial services, operating a node, making loans collateralized by digital assets, providing self-custodial wallet software, and more (see § 401).
4 - On benefits to Americans: Crypto represents ~$3 trillion global market cap, but currently 88% of global trading volume occurs on non-U.S. exchanges and only 19% of crypto developers are located in the U.S. CLARITY will bring all this onshore, under U.S. regulatory oversight.
CLARITY has benefits that extend far beyond any one company or constituency. This is a bill for ALL Americans, including banks. CLARITY awaits. The time is now.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urges lawmakers to advance the Clarity Act:
"There most important thing we can do is to make digital assets come into the United States. Make the U.S. the home."
"I would encourage the House and the Senate to get Clarity done."
