solana owns a bank and the token pays dividends literally FSwrbjuJZ59hCJVe4pzxa9wT9Bsdu5P9cT5g7mr6pump @LeadBank_sol [Spoken audio]: So, we bought a bank in 2021. Doesn't everybody buy a bank? The bank we wished we had didn't exist. So we went to build the bank we wanted to see in the world. Traditional banks are just banks in a box. Antiquated, rigid architecture. All of these systems need to be rethought in order to decide what rules you want to have around your money. So we went to Missouri. It's an amazing state to do banking. There are two Federal Reserves, there's an FDIC. We bought an amazing institution and then added the technological resources from our engineers. Lead was one of the first banks in the US to do on-chain products. My team and I built all of the code and all of the policies from the ground up. Takes old school bank in a box and allows any client to embed it in their own products. The crypto industry went from believing that banks were unnecessary to all of a sudden having an oh my god moment where they realized that they needed the banking system. On-ramps and off-ramps are such a critical part of any piece of a crypto transaction. You have to get there somehow and you have to exit somehow. I want to see the rails of the financial system totally different than they are today interoperable, programmable. There are so many use cases being created across the entire crypto industry. In a similar way actually to Solana, we're a bit of Switzerland. We work with lots of parties, specifically we like to work with partners who have the infrastructure that enables us to make scalable, reliable products with our clients. And so Solana is obviously an important partner for us. It is a weird thing when you're like, I'm going to go buy a bank, but a lot of my friends who've known me forever basically say like, of course you did. I wake up seven days a week, like a total nerd, and I can't stop thinking about cool products that we could go build that make that future here today. I think the future of banking is going to look like you won't see it at all. You don't think people wake up when they're kids and say, oh my God, I wanna own a bank? Ha, ha, ha.
