Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

And it's actually based on some very simple beliefs that I have.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

One is that every asset is going to be tokenized.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

which means that billions of people are gonna be owners.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

And so essentially, it's a good idea to build for on-chain because that's where everyone's gonna come anyway.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

So people think, why don't you integrate more with centralized exchanges?

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Why don't you add stock trading or more TradFi-oriented things?

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

And I'm not really interested because if we just build for on-chain, all of those things are just gonna come on-chain and then we get it for free.

Bonnie Blockchain

So a good example is tokenized stocks.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Because we are so religiously focused on on-chain, tokenized stocks are happening.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

That means stocks are coming on-chain either backed or synthetic.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Now you can analyze those with Nelson and you can potentially trade in the future the synthetic stocks that are tokenized.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

And so that's an example of why integrate with TradFi.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

and like legacy financial rails if you can just build directly for on-chain and the world is going to move on-chain anyway.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

So that's how I think about the product vision and product strategy.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

But then there's a bunch of other things that are more tactical, whether it's, you know, which chains do bet on.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

That's an interesting one.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Yeah, but the exchanges are going to have to come on-chain.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

So they're going to have to connect with... So, for example, I know we're at Binance Blockchain Week, but does it make sense for Nansen to have portfolio tracking of your holdings on Binance, the centralized exchange?

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

You could argue right now it makes sense, but in 2030, I don't think it makes sense because it's all going to be on chain.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

And they're very well positioned with B and B chain, just to be clear, right?
