On that front, though, when announcements come out, how long are these things being worked on in the background? Is it quicker with more crypto-native institutions than I would imagine traditional ones where it's probably at least six months to fruition from conversation to that? Or how long does it actually take? I guess that's the short question.
11:06
Great question.
11:07
For a large financial institution, those stereotypical Wall Street firm, it's not weeks or months.
11:14
There's a long cycle of legal risk, compliance reviews, product demos.
11:20
But the fintechs move quickly.
11:22
And the best examples are from this spring.
11:25
Earlier this year, one of our cross-chain competitors had a very large and sizable hack where hundreds of millions of dollars were lost.

Do you think it's maybe a mistake to be overlooking retail? And to the point you were just making before, they are important.
18:30
But Chainlink as a product really is trying to, as we've seen previously, whether it was computers, like you say, that really harlist COBOL, or whether it was the internet that really ran on a Java interface,
19:13
Because a lot of this stuff is complicated.
19:15
And like you said in this Frankenstein idea, while you're building the new world but still living in the current one, it can be complicated in different systems.
19:23
And Chainlink runtime environment, CRE, is...
19:27
The goal is to have a platform there where people can do what they need to do in one place.
19:33
And it's simple and you can automate it.
19:35
And I think we announced it in last year sometime, summer or fall.

How important is it that the younger generations understand this technology like crypto?
35:26
And I don't know if you can share this, but how are you and the team looking at integrating that from markets that can't access it, but now they can because it's in t- in a tokenized format?
35:36
Yeah, a lot of opportunities with tokenization, and we are so early on this stage.
35:40
Like, I, I did some, like, rough research recently where I think I saw, like, uh, about $10 billion of money market funds, $10 billion of treasuries, $1 billion of equities have been tokenized so far.
35:53
If you look at those markets overall, that's, like, something like .001% of, like, those markets.
35:59
So it's a big increase from a year ago.
36:01
It's still tiny.
36:02
So, like, what if 10% of those markets become tokenized, and now you're looking at, like, of 150 trillion, you're just, like, 15 trillion.

How is eToro leveraging stablecoins? Are you planning to launch your own stablecoin? What can you share there?
