Conversely, digital asset advocates argue that banking deposit rates have dropped significantly while industry profits remain extraordinarily high, and maintain that deposit migration has not actually occurred. This legislative standoff remains not officially confirmed by neutral regulatory authorities, highlighting a profound structural policy divide in the United States financial system.
