So we see that.

We see Chinese-based OTC brokers where they're trying to off-ramp those funds.

But to me, the real question becomes, how do we build that perimeter around crypto to stop these bad actors from being able to off-ramp those funds?

Can I give you a cool example?

Yeah.

So after Bybit, just exactly to your question, we saw the laundering.

We saw North Korea move faster than ever before.

It was clear to us that they had more access to liquidity than ever before.

I think that's a result of these Chinese criminal networks that are laundering the funds.

And we basically said, how can we move as fast as they are?

Because they were moving faster than compliance teams.

That's the reality.

We were seeing them move at unprecedented speed.

We were seeing them do programmatic money laundering.

So we reached out to Coinbase and Binance, to me, the most significant exchanges in the world, and said, how are we going to keep funds on chain?

How are we going to stop bad actors from using these platforms?

And we formed something called the Beacon Network.

And the Beacon Network accounts for about 85% of all centralized crypto today.

So think Kraken, OKEx, HTX, Poloniex, blockchain.com, crypto.com, Ripple, host of other services.

But then we also added fintechs like Stripe and Robinhood and PayPal, DeFi protocols, Rhin-O-Fi, 1inch.
