What are you seeing out there right now?\ Question from GLN09 - Is there a bitcoin vix? 5-Star review from East Wave - Extremely insightful information delivered by a very knowledgable (and affable) group with great guests on frequent episodes. Great job guys! (miss Don Schlesinger). Question from DElement - I thought the major obstacle for the approval of new vol products was the lack of an underlying future or ETF. That seems to be the case with the nasdaq volatility products. How were the MIAX team able to get their spikes product approved by the sec without an underlying? Is that normal practice? Question from The Mic - Can you ask the MIAX team if there are any plans for ETPs on spikes similar to VXX or SVXY? Thank you very much for your program.     CRYSTAL BALL
