And you see, you probably have noticed, like you don't really, like there haven't been kind of cases of like people doing bad things on cash because it was very regulated.
We asked you for your KYC, all the trades are reported to the government.
Like it's kind of a bad place to try to commit fraud.
There are other alternatives offshore, unregulated, and it's easier way to do it, right?
Like if you want to do something weird with crypto, you probably won't go to Coinbase.
You'll probably go to some offshore, you know, exchange that like offers similar services because there's no KYC.
They don't know who you are.
They don't report things to the government.
So that's one.

So the market surveillance regulatory functions report to the CRO who reports directly to the board.
