From what I understand, Kalshi clears on (or used to clear on) LedgerX/FTX Futures. What made you choose them over, say the CME's ErisX? Have you run into any issues given the recent FTX implosion? Where there any other options you considered and ultimately choose to not move forward with?

LedgerX team is more tech savvy and higher execution team. We considered all options and LedgerX was the superior one for our needs.

LedgerX is fully separated from rest of FTX from financial perspective by virtue of CFTC regulation, so no impact on us!
