Who is Benji?
This is the guy that built the wallet that got poached by Aave.
So he built a crypto wallet that was purchased by Aave and they rolled it into a consumer product.
Then he was poached by Base.
Yeah.
Then he was poached by base, building wallet stuff there.
So it's all crypto stuff, all wallet stuff.
And now he is working for Elon Musk, an ex.
So he just, hey, do you have a wallet that needs built for your money app?
Yeah.
I can build that for you.
Exactly.
And I'm sure X was like, hey, we need some talent to go build us a crypto money app wallet.
And so they went and they picked up Benji.
That's a sign of things to come.
Meanwhile, you have Phantom and some of our crypto native wallets coming steps closer to building their own money super wallets.
Starting today, this is Phantom.
Anyone in the US can fund with bank transfers or Apple Pay directly to a Phantom wallet.
Send and receive wires.
That's a bank feature in a DeFi wallet.
