I have had to come up with a dollar amount worth several months of expenses on very short notice (same day, life is unpredictable). YMMV, but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to get those funds within seconds (if I'm adequately authenticated). With a wire, I can get it same day (if executed by ~3pm eastern). I shouldn't need to pay for a wire, or talk to a human unless a fraud signal was detected. I'm not a hedge fund seeking tens of millions of dollars of liquidity of a cash equivalent in a moment. These dollar amounts are trivial (<$100k).

Financial services users should be able to have access to and be able to move their funds through financial plumbing inexpensively and rapidly. Fix the plumbing, raise the bar with regulations on financial services providers to commodify the offerings.
