We've talked a little bit less about Bitcoin in prior years, mostly because Bitcoin, from a technological perspective, has remained more or less fixed.

It has kind of ossified, as some people say in crypto, where not a lot of changes come.

Those changes are infrequent, not huge.

They don't really

I I think that that activity comes from the fact that because the price has done very well, people who have seen the growth and success, which is indisputable, of DeFi in like Ethereum, in Solana, in the other more smart contract blockchains, they've seen that success and they've said, well, look, we have this massive pool of capital, this gigantic uh

Commodity asset.

How can I make that accessible to DeFi?

And there have been representations of Bitcoin usable in the rest of DeFi, like wrapped Bitcoin and others.

But they have set a set of trust assumptions because of the way they work technologically that requires the owner of Bitcoin to maybe compromise on the sovereignty of their holdings, right?

And so the theory has been for a lot of people.

I've heard this story many times, sort of the last half of last year, and a couple times definitely this year, here and there.

DeFi has continued to grow.
