BLOOMBERG REVEALED THAT IRAN IS USING BITCOIN AND CRYPTO FOR PAYMENTS TO MOVE BILLIONS THE REGIME IS USING CRYPTO AT SCALE BITCOIN PROVED IT WAS BECOMING A GLOBAL RESERVE ASSET. [Spoken audio]: Absolutely. And there is a great recent example. The US Treasury Department recently sanctioned a cryptocurrency exchange ZEDSEX that was being used at scale by the IRGC to launder a billion dollars, which will go towards weapons, proliferation and other types of destabilizing activity. And that was because TRM, OFAC, other types of entities were able to identify wallet addresses that were associated with the regime that was using this type of crypto infrastructure. So absolutely, like these become immediate targets for national security agencies globally to go after and ships that are paying a toll in cryptocurrency, those transactions will be there for the world to see. You mentioned that. Iran has spent decades looking for creative ways looking for creative ways to circumvent US sanctions, the UN, crypto among them, front companies. What will you be watching for to seek evidence, to find evidence that Iran is implementing a lot of this through the crypto ecosystem? What we'll be looking for is large transfers involving wallets that we know to be associated or attributed to IRGC, which is the military unit which controls so much of life in Iran. That's the ZEDSEX example. We've seen other similar examples. Are these wallets being used, are we seeing large sums going into these wallets? Are we seeing large sums move? Are we seeing Iranian exchanges like Novotex used at scale? So what we're looking for is large amounts of funds being transferred. We've moved from a world where we're seeing sort of one-off transactions here and there to launder funds or maybe violate export control laws to these large infrastructure plays where Iran is really leveraging crypto infrastructure, whether it's stable coins or exchanges to move funds. So we're looking for large transfers that we can associate directly with IRGC.
