WEBVTT - What's a Crypto ETF, Anyway?

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>This is Bloomberg Crypto, a daily Bloomberg I Heard podcast,

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 1>and I'm Stacy Marie Ishmael, Managing editor of Crypto for

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg News. It's Monday, September six. For investors trying to

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>get exposure to crypto, there's many different options available these days.

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Products like crypto ETFs or exchange traded funds are one

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>of the more popular alternatives to owning tokens directly. But

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>what exactly are crypto ETFs and how do they work?

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>And what does it mean that many of the products

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>pitched as ways to diversify your crypto portfolio are performing

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty similarly to each other. In the studio today, to

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>tackle these questions, we have Bloomberg Report to Katie Kreifeld Money.

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Actually look under the hood and see these are all

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>holding what the same toolve come beanies, They're all trading

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in the exact same direction. Casey, welcome back. Thanks for

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>having me tell our folks who you are and what

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 1>you do. I'm Katie Greifeld. I cover markets and exchange

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>traded funds at Bloomberg. That seems busy. It is busy.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of markets. I also really like crypto

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>so I try to do as much of it as

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I can. And then you have this whole thing about

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>e t F s. Yes, so e t F s

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they're exchanged treated funds. It's a basket of securities that

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>basically you can trade intra day like a stock, similar

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to a stock. You can buy them and sell them

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>on your brokerage platforms. But it's actually again an entire

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>portfolio of companies. So what's an example in crypto of

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a kind of a popular e t F. And why

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>are folks, you know, if if I'm interested in getting

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>exposure to crypto, why wouldn't I just buy bitcoin? It's

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>a great question. The most popular e t F and

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>crypto is actually not in e t F, but it

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>would love to be. We're talking about the Gray Skill

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Bitcoin Trust. You can buy and sell it intra day.

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>It holds physically back to bitcoin, but it's a trust.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not an e t F. You do have crypto

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>e t F physically back to crypto et F that

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>actually hold bitcoin and other coins in Canada, in Europe,

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>but the U s SEC has not allowed that structure.

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>In the United States, the SEC rejected Gray Scales application

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>to convert it's thirteen billion dollar bitcoin trust and to

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>physically back to e t F. And within the hour

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the digital asset manager announced it would suit the regulator.

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>And if anybody is interested in catching up on why

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>that is, we have multiple episodes that you can you

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>can check out a ton of reporting from from Katie.

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>But okay, so you know there's these crypto ecfs, they exist.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>What problem do they solve for investors compared to holding

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the actual spot bitcoin or anything else. Well, if you're

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>a retail trader, you might not want to set up

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>a digital wallet, for example, the concept of oh my gosh,

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I could lose my password or my keys and just

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>never have access again, that's real. Maybe you don't want

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to use coin base. You've heard a lot about the

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>fees for example, or something similar. And if you're a

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>professional trader, professional money manager, and institutional trader, it might

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 1>not be in your mandate. You might not be allowed

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to actually physically hold. So somebody in a compliance department

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>is like, nope, yes, yes, But then you can say, oh,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>but this is in e t F. This is fine,

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>this is under the oversight of the SEC. What kinds

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>of stuff exists in E t F? S when it

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>comes to crypto. So because the US has this regulatory

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>structure that isn't like Europe, that isn't like Canada, and

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't actually hold bitcoin in an e t F

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in the US, you've seen this weird sort of frank

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and fund industry pop up. You have a lot of

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>crypto ish e t F their equity e t F

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>that exists in the U s and they truck companies

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that are related to crypto somehow, think MicroStrategy, which owns

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bitcoin but isn't actually bitcoin. And then

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you have a bunch of miners for example, and I

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>mean e t F issuers. The saying in e t

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>S is that there's an e t F for everything,

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>but there actually isn't an e t F for crypto.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>But issuers are trying. They've launched e t f s

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>that claim to track everything from the metavers to miners

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>to n f t s, but if you look under

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the hood, they actually all just hold the same sort

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of companies as Asset manager pro Shares is poised to

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>launch the first bitcoin futures e t F battle trade

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 1>under the symbol b I t O. It'll investor people

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>are like Yeah, prices canna only go up from here.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>What's the kind of stuff that's in that e t F?

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>So bits, so I'm gonna go with bid. Oh. So

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that is a bitcoin futures e t F, and that

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>is a very important sticking point for both the e

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>t F and the crypto industry because futures are not

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the actual underlying assets. Well, you're almost guaranteed to find

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>your self trading at another level than the spot price

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>right after a few weeks, months, certainly after a year,

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>there is some tracking error there, it hasn't been as

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>dramatic as maybe feared. And then if you think about

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the crypto ish e t F is one of the

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>biggest out there is the amplified Transford Transformational data sharing

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>e t F to tickers, b l okay so block

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>block a nod to the blockchain. Again, they all really

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>hold sort of the same thing. You probably look at

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that you see a meta again not specific to block

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>but sort of this entire industry. It's probably meta PayPal square,

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>all of the different miners, UH and micro strategy, and

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the correlations between these, it's almost perfect.

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It's basically point nine, which is extremely, extremely high point

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.239
<v Speaker 1>nine as in one would be literally anything that happens,

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>they all take exactly the same direction. So point nine

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>point nine is very very high, and it's a result

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>of exactly what you're saying. It's like, Okay, let's say

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>there's twelve things going in E t F everybody's slicing

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>those twelve things in a slightly different way. Um, that

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like a good set of options for somebody

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>who's trying to look at these as a way to

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:21.119
<v Speaker 1>diversify their portfolios. Exactly. You could see a retail trader,

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>for example, who E t f s are very popular with.

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 1>They provide access to markets that a normal individual trader

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>might not be able to get access too. So if

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to create a portfolio that captures all these

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>different themes within the crypto universe, and you're trying to

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 1>do that through E t F s, it's pretty much impossible.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Again when you actually look under the hood and see

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.280
<v Speaker 1>these are all holding what the same twelve companies, They're

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 1>all trading in the exact same direction. There are so

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>many follow up questions I have, but I will start

0:06:49.920 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>with the bitter sibling by the I know so same issuer,

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but is presented as a way to take a position

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>on the market going down. How does that work exactly?

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's another of these bitcoin derivatives tracking funds. This

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>will actually shorts the future. So it's the exact opposite

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of its sibling bite and it's the first. It was

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the first to launch, and then e t f s.

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>The first mover advantage is very very important. Uh, but

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>again it's derivatives, so people don't love it as much

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>as if I actually hold the underlying here. So let's

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>spend a little time on the derivatives themselves. You mentioned

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier about you know, the possibility of tracking errors as

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>it relates to future as ETFs. What does that look

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>like in practice? When somebody say, well, you know this

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>ETF is a tracking errorsospot bitcoin, that makes it less attractive.

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Translate that for someone not spending all their time on

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>seeking alpha. So this isn't actually the seeking alpha. That's

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. Uh. This isn't just unique to bitcoin futures

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>et This exists in all derivatives based e t f s. Basically,

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>you have a contract, you have exposure. Maybe it's a

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>one month, maybe it's a three month contract. But in

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 1>any case, no matter what it is, when you get

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to the end of that the expiration, you have to

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>roll that rolled forward that exposure so that you maintain

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>it and it doesn't just disappear. And that comes with

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the cost, and people are thinking that with these bitcoin

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>futures e t F So I remember spending a lot

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.239
<v Speaker 1>of time on it this time last year was the

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin futures curve is very upward sloping, so it's very

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>expensive to roll that. But that's when bitcoin was going

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>straight up, and as we've lived through the past year,

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't been as dramatic as maybe feared up. Next

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>more from Bloomberg's Katie Geifeld on how these crypto ETFs

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>are acting similarly to each of the on what that

0:08:50.960 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>means for the broader market, for the people who do

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>invest in the futures ETFs as opposed to the ones

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that hold you know, shares and meta or block Is

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.199
<v Speaker 1>this a function of like, I'm sophisticated enough to not

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>be scared of derivatives, my compliance department lets me like,

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>what sort of the investor profile that does one versus

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the other. I would imagine that for those who invest

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 1>in the bitcoin futures et F. They want bitcoin. They're

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 1>not trying to get exposure to the metaverse or n

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>f t s somehow through this kind of tortured portfolio construction.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 1>They just want bitcoin. And if you have done that,

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>if that's the route you've taken, you've actually done better.

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a really interesting quirk that actually the crypto equity

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>ETFs have performed more poorly than Bitcoin itself. I mean,

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the worst performing et F out there right now, uh,

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>non leveraged is ticker r I g z's Bitcoin mining

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>e t F. It's down almost seventy percent this year,

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and La Stie checked Bitcoin itself was only down about

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>only fifty five or fifty six. This seems like a

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:12.199
<v Speaker 1>bunch of bad options for for folks who were or

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>are trying to get crypto exposure and you know, they

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>really want to have access to split bitcoin. What are

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>the prospects of you know, that kind of pure pla

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>e t F in in the US in the near future.

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>It feels like it really has dropped off the radar.

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you think back to GBTC, which we

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.839
<v Speaker 1>talked about at the beginning, Gray Scale is in the

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>process of suing the SEC over the SEC rejecting their

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.959
<v Speaker 1>application to convert GBTC into a physically backed e t F.

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>So people are watching the clock on that. That's the

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>process that's expected to take several more months from here,

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>if not a year, and then, I mean you have

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>others who are just waiting for Gary Gensler to no

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>longer be chair at this point. Honestly, it doesn't feel

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>like it's an imminent front and center issue for anyone

0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 1>right now, and it seems like it's pretty much dropped

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>off the priority list of the SEC. Just as as

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of a closing thought, is this correlation is this

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>point nine like unusually high with it either to each

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>other or you know, to other parts of the market

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>compared to everything that you're seeing in ecfs, As in,

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>if I were a person and I was like coin

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.839
<v Speaker 1>tossing crypto et F versus like an entertainment focused ECF

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>or something else, like, is it that there's a similar

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>level of underperformance because all the markets are bad? Or

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is crypto really an outlier here? It's true, I mean

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>in a down market, which we're living in across asset

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.719
<v Speaker 1>classes right now, correlations tend to go to one in

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>times of stress. But if you pull up the charts

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 1>of these correlations, I mean they've been point nine. I

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>think this is close to the high water mark for

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these relationships between the crypto equity e

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>T F s. But they always have a very statistic,

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>statistically high correlation to each other. I mean, when I'm writing, uh,

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>normal story that's not about crypto, for example, and I

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>see a point sick to a point seven correlation, I'm like, Wow,

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that is so high. I should write about that point nine.

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I almost yes, what is happening here? Got it all right? Well,

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>thank you as always for being on the show. I heard,

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>possibly directly, possibly a little bird told me whichever sounds

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>more dramatic, that you're doing something crypto and showy that

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 1>might be coming up in the not too distant future.

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Are you allowed to talk about that yet? I don't

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>know if I am, I can talk about it in

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 1>case I am excellence, and then we can just cut this.

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>If you're not him Stenovic and I uh, he is

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>my co anchor. We're putting together a crypto show for

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.880

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 1>podcast first approach, not to uh try to encroach on

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>your turf, but we want to do deep dive interviews

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>soon as that is out in the world, I hope

0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.520
