Stable Conference, Inc.

I'm Justin Friedman, head of policy at Stablecon.

This is a special edition of the Stable Pulse, recorded live on stage at Stablecon USA in Washington, D.C., on September 10, 2026, where I had the privilege of interviewing Patrick Witt, who coordinates policy on digital assets at the White House.

Patrick shared his read on how the Barely One-Year-Old Genius Act is already enabling the stablecoin marketplace.

Good morning, everyone.

It is a small world.

I was at StableCon last week, and it's gone from being a conference mostly to just being massive reunions at this point, where everybody kind of knows everybody, which I think is amazing.

I think it's amazing.

Absolutely.

So the outcome is not out yet.

So by the time this episode gets released, everybody will know the outcome of the closure vote.

One of the things that surprised me with StableCon last week, Dan, was there were so many banks there.

There was community, credit banks, I mean, community banks, credit unions, small regional banks.
