So it's basically just like a demo period, a trial period, a sandbox period for you to do the thing that you said that you needed to do so that you can become decentralized.

And it just protects startups so they could go through the process of maturing and decentralization without getting a wealth notice.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

So it's a path.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

And I expect ICOs, like ICOs in the market will do this.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

And so they will probably, you'll probably see ICOs raise under 5 million from the public and then later they'll raise under 75 million.

Bankless

But I think this is like a permission to ICO or an ICO structure.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

that teams can do.

The CFTC this week gave a no action letter to Phantom.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

So this is, I think, something that Phantom requested.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

They asked for...

Bankless

a no action letter from the CFTC saying, hey, like, please don't sue us.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

And the CFTC said like, yeah, we're not going to do that about plugging into perps and prediction markets.

Bankless

So Phantom is now being told by the CFTC that they, the CFTC will not take any action against Phantom for allowing their users to access prediction markets and perps inside of the app.

Bankless

And so what does this mean is that this means that Phantom is not being considered to be a broker, right?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

It is just a wallet.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

It's always been a wallet.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

It's only ever going to be a wallet, but it doesn't have any broker responsibilities by integrating prediction markets or like hyperliquid, any derivative platform into the wallet.

There are some restrictions, some conditions that Fantom must meet.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

They must not handle user funds, so it must remain non-custodial.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Crypto Momentum | Regime Shift? | Payments War | Prediction Boom | SBF on Netflix

There must not be any discretionary trading or no advice given by Fantom.
