And we've had our fights in the past, of course.

Yeah, not so much with Stripe.

But there's two things that we do and have done.

One is the tokenized privates that we announced last year, again, at our CAN event in the EU, where we had stock tokens for SpaceX and OpenAI.

And that was really, it was in the form of a gift.

So we never actually made them 24-7 tradable between customers.

Partly because it's so new and there's certain things that we have to clear up both on a regulatory side.

So the tokenized offering was limited to a gift in the EU.

We're still trying to figure out the best way, but we haven't yet scaled that.

And now Robinhood Ventures, which is the US solution, and it's done quite well.

And the mission of that is how can we actually, using TradFi, give exposure to these private companies?

And we came up with a structure via closed end fund.

So this is a publicly traded vehicle.

You can kind of think of it as a publicly traded vehicle.

venture capital firm, so invests in a portfolio of private assets.

And it invested in companies like Stripe, OpenAI, SpaceX at the IPO, Revolut, UK company here, and yeah, a collection of others.

And one of our principles is

that we respect the issuer, right?

We, of course, prioritize the shareholder.

We believe retail should have ownership of these private companies, very, very important.
