Great to be back, Sean.

Certainly, Sean.

I think since 2022, when Coinbase formally entered the market, that in itself was a step in growing up and coming fully onshore.

So we off-boarded millions of customers who have been onboarded in an offshore environment.

And there are still offshore exchanges operating in Australia.

And we try to make some noise about that because we don't feel that's in line with the new regime under ASIC and the AFSL.

But there are certainly still offshore players marketing here, and that's not entirely kosher.

That's in a bit of a gray zone.

Since 2022, we then onboarded all these customers through, I would say, our very robust and formal KYC and AML processes.

We hired compliance, anti-money laundering, know your customer, and the other one is counterterrorism financing.

And those kind of three acronyms are incredibly central to being part of effectively the fabric of a US trad fi or traditional finance environment, which we are because we're listed and we're regulated by the SEC in the United States.

So we bring all that compliance and governance overlay into Australia.

And that's really where we want to market ourselves as the trusted exchange.

And that's been our wheelhouse.

And I think that will continue to be a focus.

But talking to where the market has come since then, we've kind of burnt the boats, hired finance, growth, accounting, legal compliance, boards of directors, and most recently from a couple of months ago, being one of the first overseas exchanges to receive an AFSL, are now coming under the regulatory guardrails of ASIC.

And that's serious stuff.

You mentioned that's a major step that should give all sorts of users, both on the retail consumer side and the institutional side, certainty about what they're doing with Coinbase.

So a lot's happened in four years, and we're super excited about the future.

Yeah, 100%.
