But the bread and butter remains market making.
And we try to use that to kind of make a market or bring a market to any asset class we're looking at.
So if you have a market where you have an insane amount of people that are all trying to trade all the time, you might be able to make it work without a market maker.
But what a market maker is really doing is it's helping to bridge the gap between the different people who are trying to trade.
So Joe, you might want to trade now and Tracy might want to trade in an hour.
But that doesn't help you if she's not there now.

And then we're gonna wait and when Tracy wants to trade, we'll take the other side of it.
So we're basically a function that matches the buyers to the sellers across time and also across size.
So it really depends on the way that you do it.
There's a lot of small independent groups or just individual people who are able to be out there.
