What do you think the likelihood is that we get several or all of the Spot Bitcoin ETF applications approved at once like we saw with the recent E futures. ETF si think nine were approved. Yeah, I think it's going to be a waterfall. I, I don't think they're gonna prove one and then slowly go through each one with a fine tooth comb because of the people who are asking in. You've got Black Rock, you've got Cathy Wood at Arc. Um You've got a gray scale. These are all. Yeah.

So I think it's gonna be a waterfall of ETF S and then it's gonna be a matter of how they're structured, what the actual assets underneath the ETF are and uh the, the fees on them and that'll cause flow into those ETF S which will cause flow into Bitcoin itself.
