And it's actually based on some very simple beliefs that I have.
One is that every asset is going to be tokenized.
which means that billions of people are gonna be owners.
And so essentially, it's a good idea to build for on-chain because that's where everyone's gonna come anyway.
So people think, why don't you integrate more with centralized exchanges?
Why don't you add stock trading or more TradFi-oriented things?
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.
So a good example is tokenized stocks.
Because we are so religiously focused on on-chain, tokenized stocks are happening.
That means stocks are coming on-chain either backed or synthetic.
Now you can analyze those with Nelson and you can potentially trade in the future the synthetic stocks that are tokenized.
And so that's an example of why integrate with TradFi.
and like legacy financial rails if you can just build directly for on-chain and the world is going to move on-chain anyway.
So that's how I think about the product vision and product strategy.
But then there's a bunch of other things that are more tactical, whether it's, you know, which chains do bet on.
That's an interesting one.
Yeah, but the exchanges are going to have to come on-chain.
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?
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.
And they're very well positioned with B and B chain, just to be clear, right?
