So I do think that for regulators and for responsible players like Binance, the interests are aligned is to come out with sensible regulation is to protect users on that front and is to safeguard the ecosystem, right? So our interests are aligned by and large, right? Um but the challenge globally today is that you see uh crypto regulations are still in the formative stage in many different countries and in many other countries there's a bit of confusion, right? Is it a commodity? Is it security? Is it is it defined as a unique virtual asset? And how do you regulate that?”
