Second, we've been engaging in business development and market education discussions across the U.S. investment community and businesses, showcasing the institutional capabilities of our platform.

What we have brought to market is structurally different to what we have typically seen in history: Gen1 treasury approaches that rely on price appreciation of a single asset and typically lack systematic risk management, exposing shareholders to significant drawdowns and dilution during adverse market conditions.
