ROBINHOOD'S CEO JUST SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD. "In the future there will be no distinction between crypto and traditional finance." His reasoning: TradFi giants make their money elsewhere. They'll adopt late, resist, wait for proof. Early is uncomfortable. Late is [Spoken audio]: I think that I don't know how much how controversial this would be to say with this audience, but when I say this with a more general audience very controversial. I actually think cryptocurrency and traditional finance have been living in two separate worlds for a while, but they're going to fully merge. And we're talking about tokenized stocks and other real world assets. Stablecoin, which is an early form of this, the great example of this. this, I think that crypto technology has so many advantages over the traditional way we're doing things that in the future, there's going to be no distinction. It's kind of like how technology itself was viewed as a sector of the economy for a very long time still is, you know, there's technology companies and everything else.

And I think that's That's why for us, we've had to do greater vertical integration than, you know, we would normally want to do in Trap5. We acquired Bitstamp, we have our own exchange, we're building our own chain because I don't think to be at the frontier of crypto that you could rely on traditional infrastructure providers. I think they'll get there eventually, but it'll take a very long time.
