When you're looking at these on-chain markets, whether it's blockchain,

perpetuals or other types of derivatives markets that are on chain there are different considerations for on-chain markets certainly some things are automated and smart contracts solve a lot of the things that our rules are designed to force um but you do have considerations we've seen these auto deleveraging mechanisms cause some cascades of liquidations and really um

create some adverse consequences that in the U.S.

we're not used to.

And I'm not going to say that they're worse for investors or better.

And in some cases, maybe these mechanisms work very well and they work as designed.

And maybe the users trust in that code and they understand that the code will work a certain way and they're happy to trade in that environment.

But they're

as a regulator, things that we have to think about and consider.

So we're very excited to see these markets flourish in the United States.

We want to create a path to bring these on-chain markets into the United States, make sure that they comply with some form of regulation.

You know, the last administration was so fixated on

you have to come in and register and comply with the rules on the books as drafted for, you know, a 1934 exchange, right?

We're leaning into the future.

We understand that our markets are changing, that technology is changing.

We want to tailor fit our rules and regulations for these new products and platforms and exchanges, recognizing that

We need to protect investors.

We need to make sure that customer funds are safe, or at least that there's an adequate amount of disclosure and people understand what they're trading and how they're trading.

So we're working on all that.

We've been taking a number of measures at the commission to make sure that self-custodial wallet providers, for example, are able to offer access without having to register as a broker.
