Hey, Santiago. Jen, Andy, great to be here. Thank you. Great to have you here. We start to show out quite broad. I'd like to ask everyone this question. We're sitting here at the end of the week. Talk to us about what you've been watching lately. Obviously, the Fed, rate cut is important. Bitcoin and the rest of the technology sector took a hit. And it's just a healthy reminder that as much as we see institutional excitement and hype and ETF inflows, you know, this industry continues to be a very volatile asset class and it's a levered NASDAQ play.

2:28.1

So any small deviation of that is going to have volatility in the markets. And people should just be

2:32.9

prepared for that. A lot of the rate cut conversations feel a little more politicized and integrated into

things like tariffs.
