Jito Labs' Rebecca Rettig and Paul Hastings' Renato Mariotti return to The Policy Protocol after Consensus Miami to break down the Clarity Act's historic bipartisan passage out of the Senate Banking Committee.

Plus, they discuss the stablecoin yield compromise and unveil this week's Person of the Week.
