Bull points
- guidance, it's unchanged. I am quite comfortable with our guidance. Q2 is quite phenomenal, and it sets us up to achieve our goal.
- $200 million
- We ended the quarter with a very exciting $800 million in tokenization contracts signed. These contracts are tied to approximately $90 million in fees. As these projects get funded, they will impact 2026 revenue throughout the year.
Bear points
- there was risk for us in not taking action. We did issue shares to do that, but it enriched every single share by doing the deals we did.
