Our first priority is the safety of our employees and protecting our customer and partner interests. Our Risk and Safety teams are actively monitoring the situation and coordinating closely with local authorities and internal people teams. We are fully supporting our employees in affected areas to ensure they have flexibility, and resources they need to remain safe. Nothing is more important than the wellbeing of our people. At the same time, moments like this remind us why resilient infrastructure matters. Traditional financial markets close. Banks operate within fixed hours. Liquidity pauses. But the world does not pause. Events unfold in real time, including on weekends and outside market hours. Crypto markets continue to operate. They provide continuous price discovery, real-time signals, and uninterrupted access to liquidity across borders. This is not theory. It is observable. When global events occur, digital asset markets reflect them immediately, often before traditional indices reopen. That continuous function is not about speculation alone. It is about open, resilient infrastructure that remains operational during uncertainty. We do not celebrate volatility. We recognize responsibility. The long-term role of crypto is to strengthen financial systems, to provide access without dependency on geography or banking hours, to enable settlement without interruption, and to maintain transparency when clarity is needed most. We remain focused on protecting our people and building for the future. Resilience is built before it is tested.
