goldstein. >> chairman brown, ranking member toomey, and members of the committee thank you for inviting me here today to talk about this complex and interesting topic. i'm jai massari, a partner in the financial institutions group at davis polk. for the past several years i have been advising financial institutions on the regulatory -- the financial regulatory considerations for stable coin activities. today i am presenting my own views, not those of any client or my firm. my remarks focus on three key points. first, stablecoins are an innovation in our understanding of money. this is particularly the case for true or payment stablecoins. these are noninterest bearing financial instruments designed to maintain a stable value against a reference fiat currency, say $1. today stablecoins are used primarily for payments in connection with cryptocurrency transactions and decentralized finance, that is defi applications. stable coin payments though could have broader uses, complementing existing paym

goldstein's comment. i want to add something more though which is financial literacy is already a huge problem for a lot of people. we expect a lot of consumers in terms of their abilities to read complex financial documents thand understand them. with the move to crypto related financial services where asking them to understandcomputer code because disclosures don't always match the computer code so investors in these areas tendto go to the code themselves . that is just entirely unreasonable to expect people to be able to set up the risks on their own by looking at the code . >> and it's difficult enough, extremely difficult for anybody to understand so i agree with you. let me ask you another question about e this . we need to make sure that workers can rely on their pensions, the pensions they have earned. this is something chair brown and i have passed on since i first came to the senate. as stable coins become more prominent in the financial system it seems like it's worth looking at what this etcou
