And the populist revolt around this whole payment for order flow Robinhood thing broke against the rock of Ken Griffin.
Yeah, so it should be a black eye for the company, but the reality is that they're happy to pay the fine and just move on so they don't have this issue hanging over their heads anymore. And now they're going to be able to IPO at like a 50, 60, $70 billion valuation. ... And so for them, it's a sort of cost of doing business. I think there's something a little bit off about that, but that's kind of how it works.
And everyone is worried about the government intervening and changing how this business is transforming. Because as soon as the government gets involved, it's going to slow down the transformation, it's going to make things much more challenging. And I think that everyone's trying to keep the government at bay, while the great digital transformation of markets is underway.

I do think exchanges are here to stay. Market making is here to stay. Market making is a profitable enterprise. And so some level of revenue share between the market maker and the broker makes sense. And it is regulated. So I'm not quite sure what, if any, changes need to come.
