And I have a lot of my own wallets too, because it makes me feel good because if suddenly someone compromised wallet, like I would know very quickly.

It's been a very strange year, because if you look at retail activity, it's been pretty poor.

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

Without sounding judgmental, the low end of the retail, like smaller wallets, maybe lower net worth retail, has been largely absent since.

January so if you look at websites like coin gecko coin market cap deck screener and so on They're down like 50 to 80 percent in traffic.

Well clearly They're not the ones holding up the market and markets been like a little bit up and down But it seems like a lot of the flows are actually institutionally driven especially for Bitcoin and

And so when you think about institutions, I think you can separate between crypto-native institutions, like market makers, like Wintermute or large funds like A6NC, and then the TradFi Wall Street institutions.

So I think the Vanguard...

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

announcement I think one or two days ago was pretty bullish in that sense because it creates new inroads for capital into crypto.

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

So yeah, it's kind of a mixed picture.

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

I think the lower end crypto native retail has not had a great year, but then there's kind of a almost like passing on the baton to a different cohort, like high capital, high net worth, more institutional type

investors.

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

But yeah, I think our view is that every asset is going to come on-chain eventually.

Bonnie Blockchain

And so we just focus on building a really great product for on-chain.

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

And the belief is that retail institutions, everyone's going to come on-chain.
