You know, we've been building towards

0:01

this moment for about 10 years, which is

0:04

federally regulated digital dollars that

0:06

are part of the financial system where

0:08

major firms, financial institutions, uh,

0:11

corporations and others are going to

0:12

build on this. And we are the best

0:14

position company in the world for that

0:16

moment. There's some data that actually

0:17

came out yesterday that looks at sort of

0:19

the adoption of of different stable

0:21

coins and how they're used in actual

0:23

payments. There's the Visa data where

0:26

you know at the end of June uh USDC was

0:28

70% of stablecoin transaction volume.

0:31

The rest was basically USDT and

0:33

everything else just falls off a cliff.

0:35

But there was other data that came out

0:37

uh there's been a huge number of

0:38

consortium coins and other coins and

0:40

other things that have launched over the

0:42

past couple of years. And while they

0:44

might have a billion or two or three uh

0:47

in circulation, they're not actually

0:48

used. They're not they're not

0:50

transferred much. They're not used much.

0:52

And so what we've just historically seen

0:54

is that for the network utility and

0:56

payment utility and as a form of capital

0:59

in markets, USDC stands above the rest

1:02

uh by far. And so it remains to be seen

1:04

what any new stable coin is going to be

1:06

able to accomplish.
