So it's like a huge market.
FX is, of course, but I think increasingly more and more of that is coming on chain and maybe eventually everything will be on chain.
But coming back to making everyone bankless, I think it will take a while.
And I think it will take a while because you need effectively everyone to have a self-custodial wallet.
And only then will it just make sense.
From then on, you can just continue to pay the next person or the next vendor or the next employee on chain.
And until we get there...
We effectively need it to be very easy.
There should be no friction going from fiat to stablecoins and back for everyone in the world, regardless of where they live.
And that's something that is difficult to accomplish, obviously, globally.
But increasingly, we're seeing that this is happening.
And so there will be this transition period.
I think it's probably going to be a fairly long transition period.
