Industry committee  I can help shed some light on that. Just to give a bit of perspective on the scale, if I had to guess off the back of the envelope, I would say maybe a million different types of crypto currency assets have been created. Our platform at any given time will trade about 30 or 36

Industry committee  The due diligence is on all of those factors. As I said, it's not perfect. That was certainly a black mark on the industry writ large, for certain.

Industry committee  I think there are a number of questions built in there, but the way I would like to address it is from a marketplace perspective. You'll hear a similar sentiment coming from regulators as well. We're not in the business of picking winners and losers. What we are seeing is that

Industry committee  I think one of the ways to look at that question is that disclosure is certainly very important when a new asset is created. It's what's being said in the white paper that creates it, what is being said by the founders. Platforms like ours have to provide disclosure statements

Industry committee  Sure. Why don't I jump in? I'll just say right off the bat that I don't have an answer for you today. I apologize.

Industry committee  I understand. I think one of my colleagues may be better positioned to answer that. Mr. Mosoff, I was thinking the committee might benefit from—

Industry committee  Maybe I can jump in. I think this entails some of my previous comments. A good way to consider it conceptually is to think about the underlying blockchain technology and then use cases that can be built on top of it. For traditional industry, you may want to use blockchain to r
