Welcome back to Piper Sandler's Global Exchange and Financial Technology Conference. We're pleased to welcome our next speaker, Doug Cifu of Virtu. He co-founded the company back in 2008, has been the leader since it's been a public company, had a phenomenal first quarter. I guess I can say that. Doug doesn't like to brag about it as much or talk about, but a phenomenal first quarter.
So I guess, first, welcome.
Questions and Answers:

So how does this compare to Brexit, the Trump election, the Swiss National Bank decoupling. How would you characterize what happened in the first quarter?
