Thank you, Lucas, and thank you everyone for joining us today. So, to our knowledge, this is the second outdoor annual shareholder meeting ever. The first one was Ben & Jerry's, but that was under tents, and I'm still upset that they cancelled my favorite flavor. Joining me today on the call, you just heard from him, the mythical Lucas Moscowitz, our corporate secretary and general counsel. I'd like to thank all of the shareholders for supporting our mission. It's a noble one. I'd also like to welcome the members of our board of directors. They're right here who joined us today. We've got a great board and we're grateful for their steadfast service and commitment to the company. Look at that great looking board, too. Finally, I'd like to thank the members of the Robin Hood team, many of whom are in the audience, for continuing to work tirelessly for customers and shareholders, and there's some overlap there to get us where we are today. So, let's talk about the business. As a reminder, our strategy is three-fold. Number one, want to build the best platform for active traders. Number two, we want to be number one in wallet share for the next generation. And third, our long-term arc, building the number one global financial ecosystem. We're building a financial super app to serve our customers across the entirety of their financial assets and all of their financial transactions as well, anywhere in the world. And at the heart of that goal, what we're really talking about is ownership. We want to make it possible for anyone to own a piece of our great economy, which continues to be the envy of the world. And we believe if we can get everyone to own a piece of our economy, they'll have skin in the game. They'll have a stake in its growth and success. And that'll make for a more prosperous, stable society as well. We're shipping products faster than ever to achieve this goal. And Lucas and I will walk through some of the progress we've made and how we're contributing to making everyone around us owners of this great American economy. Starting with Trump accounts, a product and initiative near and dear to both of our hearts. Lucas and I have been working very very hard along with many people around the country to make this happen. So again, Trump accounts is a new initiative spearheaded by the administration and Treasury to give all American newborns a brokerage account funded with $1,000 and potentially more by Treasury. Robin Hood serves as broker and sole initial trustee under the direction of the US Department of the Treasury in partnership with BNY who's serving as the financial agent. Nearly 6 million American children are already signed up. Over 60 million are eligible. We just introduced the Trump accounts app and have started onboarding people. Response has been pretty great so far, Lucas. Number one in finance on day one. So that's the number one finance app in the app store. We actually reached number three overall and we're the fastest growing non-AI app which I think is very cool. The aspiration is really to build the best product that the government has ever been associated with. We're off to a great start. We have been working alongside Treasury, the National Design Studio, and BNY, which is the United States oldest and most storied bank to make the platform as intuitive and educational as possible. We think we're off to a great start. It's a historic milestone in our mission to democratize finance for all, expanding the remit of Robin Hood to customers at age zero. So now you don't have to be 18 to benefit from the power of compounding. You can be a newborn. And there's plenty more to come, particularly as we approach July 4th. And we're excited to get our technology in front of the next generation of investors. I know you're excited about that as well. Next, private markets. We want to make it possible for people to own a stake in the private companies shaping the future before they go public. And I think if we do this right, I believe we can solve one of the greatest and most long-standing inequities in capital markets today. As you guys know, you've heard me say a few times, companies are waiting longer and longer to go public. We have several private companies that are reaching valuations in the high hundreds of billions. And we are hard at work with Robin Hood Ventures solving this problem in the US. So, Robin Hood Ventures IPOed our first fund, RVI, back in March. And the goal of RVI was and continues to be investing in private companies at the frontier of their industries, making them accessible to retail. The response so far has been very strong. Market cap of RVI has exceeded 1 billion and we're making good progress actually on standing up additional funds with complimentary strategies. We're investing big here. We're excited to do more to unlock this asset class for our customers. And plenty more to come there. Now moving on to artificial intelligence. It's no surprise AI tools have redefined the financial world and Robin Hood again is leading the charge with these new innovative products and tools. So over the past few years we've been increasingly integrating AI into our platform. Robin Hood Cortex is now embedded throughout the app. And just last week we took a big step forward with the launch of a new category that we're calling agentic finance. And the idea behind Agentic Finance is you're seeing all these developments and the core models, the Agentic harnesses. And we want to make those models and those innovations available to all the financial products and services we offer. So we want to make it so that you can benefit from them with the safety and security that you expect from your financial accounts. And we're starting with two products that we rolled out last week. Agentic Trading, which allows customers to build agents that trade on their behalf via Robin Hood accounts. And Agentic Trading is a great tool for self-directed traders and investors to add these capabilities while staying in control. The second thing, Agentic credit cards, and this is our first foray into what's called the Agentic Commerce space. So, with our Agentic credit cards, customers can build agents and give them access to the Robin Hood Gold cards with our 3% cash back. So, what can that do? That'll allow your agent to go online, scan for best prices, get hard to find reservation bookings, monitor availability, make purchases automatically based on your instructions, all while earning 3% cash back. And the goal is to make this the best way the dominant way that you can use your AI agent to buy things online. The principle under which we designed Agentic Finance is that the human, in this case you the customer, is in control at all times with safety features built in. So for example on Agentic trading your trading agent will operate in a dedicated Agentic account completely separated and walled off from the rest of your portfolio and your credit card agent has access to the fantastic virtual cards functionality and infrastructure that we've already had for humans. And we also added an additional safety feature where you as the user can approve every purchase. And there was some awesome engineering work to make that happen. Your agent only works with what you give it. And if anything looks off, you can sever the connection in a single tap from the app. We also monitor closely for fraud. So, if a trade or payment looks suspicious, Robin Hood's support team can review exactly what you asked the agent to do, see what it actually did, and help you quickly resolve any disputes. Obviously, it's very early, but it's great to see thousands of our customers signing up, starting to use these products. Rollout status, trading is rolled out to about half of our customers with the goal to be fully rolled out to everyone by the end of this week. So, this is a fast roll out. Agentic credit cards were rolled out to everyone on day one. So, all gold card holders and you can sign up on the website as well. We believe we're the leader in Agentic Finance and you should expect to see regular updates here. So, it's just the very beginning. The goal is to have a wide surface area of capabilities and really the agents being a first-class consumer of our broad service suite. So we're going to keep adding things on a regular basis. Next, prediction markets. So we think we're at the very beginning of a prediction market super cycle. This has been our fastest growing product ever. So we launched this just over 18 months ago and event contracts are already generating over 400 million in annualized revenues. We had more than 12 billion contracts traded in 2025 and more than 15 billion already traded in 2026. So this is going to be a much bigger year than last year. Rother, which is our new joint venture with Susuana, is rapidly making progress as the world's premier exchange and clearing house. So the idea behind Rother is to bring institutional rigor to our prediction markets offering and not only positions us to expand the contracts that we offer but also to build faster and to deliver more competitive pricing for our customers and for the industry. We think this is going to be growing far beyond Robin Hood. So we'll be serving other brokers, lots of market makers and other institutions as well. I'm really excited about the opportunities this will open up and it's gotten off to a strong start. So plenty more to come on Rother. Now global expansion and the goal there is take all of the great things we've delivered to the US market and really transformed the space here, take that global, make every citizen anywhere in the world have access to our great capital markets. A big area of emphasis here is tokenization and the Robin Hood chain. Robin Hood chain, remember our layer 2, will be at the center of all this and our goal is to make it the best chain to trade real world assets. International more broadly, we now have crossed 1 million international customers and we just closed our acquisition of WonderFi, which marks Robin Hood's expansion to the great country of Canada. And we're not slowing down. We've received in principal approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to offer a comprehensive suite of brokerage services over there. And we're on track to further expansion in Southeast Asia through our planned brokerage and crypto acquisitions in Indonesia closing later this year. So you'll hear much more from us about what's next both on the tokenization front, Robin Hood chain, and of course international expansion writ large at Robin Hood presents the world is flat which is coming July 1st. So just a couple of weeks away. We hope you'll tune in. Overall, the year is shaping up quite nicely. Big plans on the horizon. We're moving fast to make more people owners of our great country and our great economy. So, road map is full. There's so much to do. Shall we take some questions?
