Thank you for repeating the slogan.
It is here.
2025 was a massive year for crypto.
We started to get regulatory clarity, finally, in the US.
So we got the Genius Act passed.
In the wake of that, we saw 200 companies announce stablecoin integrations.
Financial institutions are adopting this at an insane rate.
We now power crypto infrastructure for five of the top 20 largest banks in the world.
It's not just a US phenomenon.
We're seeing incredible adoption of crypto in emerging markets where people have high inflation.
And stablecoins are on a tear, not to mention prediction markets, et cetera, et cetera.
So I do think that we're at a breakout moment for crypto.
And yeah, it's a big opportunity.
Well, we're meeting with world leaders to talk about economic freedom and how crypto can help update their financial system.
We're meeting with central bank governors to talk about what they should do with stablecoins.
But probably the most interesting one group that I'm meeting with here are other bank CEOs, because we are having this moment in DC about getting market structure legislation passed.
And the bill has made good progress.
It got a strong bipartisan vote in the House.
It's now being deliberated in the Senate.
