So one of the problems with moving money, as you know, between TradFi and the crypto world is bringing it back from crypto to TradFi.
And the hard part about that is there's a lot of friction, of course, but it's also the BSA piece, the Bank Secrecy Act piece.

And they found that 88% of the deposits that went into Coinbase did not come back into the banking system.
Now, let's face it.
A lot of us have had bank accounts closed because we tried to send money from...
crypto exchange into our traditional bank account.
So there's a big piece of that, that part of the reason that folks who move money into the crypto space don't want to bring it back because they don't want to risk getting their bank account closed.
But it's also very difficult from a
from just a pure friction standpoint.
