Now, in terms of the experience, tokenizing our shares, we did it ourselves. It was very smooth, even though we had to actually build a lot of tech specifically for the trading side of things because trading on chain today, it's complicated because of the existing regulations that are designed for traditional markets that you still have to comply with.

The the other IPO process, what I would say is that, you know, it's a huge regulatory burden. I didn't expect that it was going to be such a long process and, you know, Cher would be saying that we need to simplify disclosures and and the IPO process to stimulate more companies going public, and I really having done the process, I really hope that they do it, and that more people go earlier public, because they make it cheaper and and easier.
