It posted record results through the crypto drawdown as options, equities, Gold, prediction markets and interest income filled the gap. Volatility drives trading volume in one of its better-monetizing businesses, so violent moves can lift revenue before prices recover. Clarity on tokenized equities could make crypto a funnel into a broader financial platform. x.comÂ
