What do you make of that? Too much is priced in right now. Well. After the ETFs were approved earlier this year, we saw the price rise. We saw demand continue to grow for Bitcoin and then the Ethereum ETF. But there was the election still looming and then there was a lot of uncertainty on whether we would have a crypto-friendly administration here in the US. The answer is a resounding yes. And so I think we're seeing all this pent-up demand. The fact that we continue to see it rise, I mean we've seen a little bit of profit-taking, but overall Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, which is the base of a lot of these DeFi applications, they're all up significantly and continue to rise. So I think we're going to continue to see a lot of demand here. I hate to say it, but Doge up 10% on the day. Extraordinary rally. The Department of Government Efficiency

I mean, obviously, Dogecoin was kind of endorsed in some ways by Elon Musk. And everything that Elon touches, as the previous segment mentioned, is rising.
