00:00Figure went public in September. Do you think that a company of your size and scale could have gone public a couple years ago under the previous administration?
00:07So we built a business that has thrived under any administration, and we were growing under the previous administration.
00:13However, absolutely the tailwinds that have come from this current administration really focusing on making New York and America more broadly the center of blockchain, I think has been super helpful.
00:28There was a lot of tailwinds coming into the IPO and excitement about that.
00:33And we've also had a lot of regulatory, I think, certainty with things like the Genius Act, which affected stable coins, of which we have one, but also more broadly have just shown the market that there is a future of the capital markets on blockchain.
00:48I think I like to say that a year ago, if you were in a board meeting and we're talking about blockchain, you'd be laughed out of the board meeting.
00:56And now, if you aren't talking about blockchain, there's a serious problem.
