So that's also gets uploaded to it.

flow and stuff.

Odd Lots
BlackRock's Rob Goldstein on the Next Megatrends in Finance

It's pretty wild stuff.

Odd Lots
BlackRock's Rob Goldstein on the Next Megatrends in Finance

I'm curious, tokens, there's been a lot of headlines lately about token sticker shock.

Odd Lots
BlackRock's Rob Goldstein on the Next Megatrends in Finance

We are spending a lot on inference.

Odd Lots
BlackRock's Rob Goldstein on the Next Megatrends in Finance

I'm curious if you could tell us anything about token consumption this year versus last year at BlackRock.

Odd Lots
