Andrew Ross Sorkin: That's not a fair answer. On the specific side, would you say stablecoins are the future? For a public investor, would you invest in Circle or expect more competition? Rob Hadick: Stablecoins are here to stay and will grow 10-fold. Prediction markets are here to stay and will grow 10-fold. For public market exposure, it's either base layers like Ethereum and Bitcoin or companies like Circle. Andrew Ross Sorkin: You mentioned prediction markets.
