Positive Outlook

Challenges Ahead
- Q3 range reflects some modest headwinds, including a 3% decline in the average price of Ethereum in July as compared to the Q2 average.
- Expectations of a September rate cut.
- An increase in expenses related to USDC as we work to drive global adoption of USDC as the most compliant stablecoin.
