    Good listen but way too many adverts. Twice 3 minutes of adverts in a 15-20m podcast is WAY too much.

Q: What are the biggest open questions about how this regulation might affect adoption and interoperability of stable coins going forward?

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz Is Going to Take Awhile
Q: What would a timeline look like for clearing mines and reopening the strait, given the uncertainty and possible ongoing missile threats?

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz Is Going to Take Awhile
Q: Could you kind of help us get into the head of each of those individuals, what they would need to know to feel comfortable going through the strait given the fear of mines?
Doyle outlines that ship operators would seek assurances from Iran or from foreign militaries that safe passage is possible, or rely on clear routes and escort/assistance from clearing forces to navigate mined areas.
Reopening the Strait of Hormuz Is Going to Take Awhile
Q: So walk us through, if you could, the ways in which Iran could target ships passing through the Strait.
Doyle explains that Iran could use small fast boats, sea mines, and shore-based weapons to threaten or disable ships, and emphasizes mines as the easiest and most scalable threat in the Strait of Hormuz.
