Question: Christopher John Allen - Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, Research Division - Analyst
: I just wanted to follow-up on that question, the commentary around the dark pool becoming more interesting. I can't recall you guys ever talking
about your dark pool before maybe you can give us some metrics in terms of any -- what volume is currently executed on the dark pool, what's
matched up out of your total trades right now?
Question: Christopher John Allen - Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. All right. And then switching gears a little bit. I noted you're talking about increasing your marketing efforts. Historically, word-of-mouth has
been your primary catalyst to drive new account growth. Any color in terms of how you're expanding your marketing efforts? You have new hires
direct in that vein? Are you looking at a different channel from a marketing perspective?
Question: Christopher John Allen - Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. So it's fair to say you're starting from a fairly low base in terms of your existing marketing efforts, specifically in the regional front?
Question: Christopher John Allen - Compass Point Research & Trading, LLC, Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. And then last one for me before I jump back in the queue. Some recent articles quoted, I think, as [NIBCA] Care spokesman saying you're
going to be launching cryptocurrency effort this summer. Just wondering if you have any color on that, how you approach that market from a
custody storage perspective, sourcing liquidity, et cetera, any color would be great.
