So many markets across the world are monopolized, and to be quite frank, the consumer is paying the price for that.

Sphinx is an effort to democratize access to the commodities trading world and the derivatives that power it.

These assets never stop moving, and they deserve a market that also never stops moving.

People would say, well, no, these are on exchanges.

And we can see the price every day on Bloomberg.

But you're saying there's a lot of control in this centralized power.

The powers that control these assets and control the exchanges that trade them,

they have no incentive to evolve on behalf of the consumer.

And that's really where we saw not only the problems,

but also the opportunity. The time for disruption is now. And we're really excited to be at the

forefront of that. What do you think this looks like a year from now if you get it right?

You know, we decided to build our own layer one blockchain. I want to see the next NASDAQ built

on this infrastructure. I want to see the next NYSE for trading securities. If we can become the ecosystem and the infrastructure for traditional

finance, that's the dream. That's the goal. And if we really want to go compete with the big boys,

there's no choice. The quote from one of my mentors, talk is cheap, but it takes money to buy

whiskey in West Texas. You better have something to back up what you're going to do.

We're not another D-Fi exchange.

We are truly creating something new.

There's so many great people surrounding this thing,

and I can't thank my team enough because when we do launch,

everybody's going to be blown the hell away.

It looks incredible. It works great.
