> **Video Content:** The video shows an interview between two men seated in a bright, elegant living room, with the camera cutting between close-ups of each speaker and wide shots of them conversing, gesturing as they discuss financial topics. Mid-conversation, an on-screen graphic titled "DIFFERENCE BETWEEN: DIRECT TREASURY VS STABLECOIN" appears, illustrating that with direct Treasury bills the investor owns the asset and earns yield, while with stablecoins an issuer owns the asset, earns the yield, and the investor merely holds a token to get a $1 stable value. The bald interviewee—identified by the post as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong—argues throughout that banks force customers into low-interest checking accounts while profiting from the spread, and that stablecoins eliminate that gap.

> "Watch: Coinbase CEO on why your bank account pays you nothing

Armstrong says banks force you to choose between a checking account that earns zero or a savings account you can't spend from so "they get a larger net interest margin spread."

He says stablecoins remove that"
