Long before Bitcoin, Ethereum, or DAOs, the U.S. banking industry had its own form of decentralized governance: the dual-banking system. Under this system, banks can be chartered and, with some important caveats, supervised at either the state or the federal level. When U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced their stablecoin regulation bill on April 17, the legislators emphasized that the bill seeks to “preserve our dual banking system.” But while the senators deserve credit for pursuing this goal, the Lummis-Gillibrand stablecoin bill falls short by subordinating state regulation to federal control.

Despite XRP underperforming the broader crypto market, its trajectory over the past year indicates that it remains a more favorable investment option compared to leaving money in a savings account. Over the past day, XRP registered a 1.36% loss. However, this negative growth is not unique to XRP, as many other rivals witnessed a similar percentage decline.
