Thank you and good afternoon, everyone. Digital asset markets remain volatile during the second quarter, but the institutional development of the sector continue to advance. Across custody, staking, stablecoins, tokenization, and market infrastructure, the distinction between traditional and on-chain finance is becoming less pronounced. Established financial institutions are increasingly evaluating where blockchain can improve the movement, settlement, and ownership of financial assets. That progression is particularly relevant to the SUI network. We believe the network is moving beyond the period defined principally by technical differentiation and into one where that architecture is supporting increasingly substantive financial activity. For example, the network sustains 297,000 transactions per second with finality at 300 milliseconds, underscoring its horizontal scalability. SUI developer count has grown to 1,400 and ranks 10th amongst all chains by GitHub activity, reflecting the continued growth of its builder ecosystem. During the quarter, institutional access to SUI tokens continued to expand. Coinbase introduced direct staking giving eligible users and institutions a more established access point for participating in the network's proof-of-stake economics. We also saw further evidence of SUI's relevance to tokenized financial markets through the availability of a tokenized private market strategy from Mubadala Capital on the network. We believe developments like this demonstrate that institutional asset managers are not using the SUI network merely as a simple trading venue, but as infrastructure for delivering financial products on-chain. SUI has also been developing infrastructure to unlock the productive use of Bitcoin's more than $1 trillion in dormant capital. Hashi, SUI's native primitive for this purpose, lets Bitcoin be used as a verifiable collateral for lending and other financial products while it remains securely on its native chain. During the quarter, Cumberland, Fluid, SwissBorg joined the growing coalition of partners building on Hashi ahead of its global testnet launch this month, bringing the coalition to more than 20 marquee participants, including BitGo, Woolish, FalconX, and Ledger. Further evidence of institutional demand for verifiable on-chain infrastructure that can put Bitcoin's capital to productive use. Network activity continued to scale as well. SUI surpassed 4.5 billion cumulative transactions reflecting the breadth of applications and user activity developing across the ecosystem. SUI also introduced protocol level gasless stablecoin transfers, allowing supported stablecoins to move without requiring users to maintain a separate SUI balance for transaction fees. Between May the 10th and June the 10th, the network processed approximately 65 billion of stablecoin transfer volume, which we believe provides an early indication of the demand for low friction payment infrastructure. This is an important improvement for payments and other high frequency use cases because it reduces friction at the point of transaction. The combination of these developments shows the ecosystem advancing across dimensions at once. Institutional access, tokenized assets, payments, infrastructure, and underlying network usage. We believe this reinforces the long-term rationale for aligning SUI Group with the SUI ecosystem. Suey's parallel execution model, object-centric architecture, and low latency settlement were designed for applications that require high transaction volumes, predictable execution, and composability across financial products. These attributes become increasingly important as blockchain infrastructure is adopted for payments, trading, tokenized assets, and autonomous financial systems. In our view, institutional adoption will ultimately concentrate around networks capable of supporting those use cases reliably and at scale. Turning to our treasury, as of the 3rd of August, 2026, we have approximately 109 million SUI tokens. A significant majority of our holdings are staked, generating an estimated annual yield of approximately 1.7% and approximately 5,300 SUI per day. Based on the closing prices of SUI-G common stock and SUI on August the 3rd, we are trading at an approximate MNAV of 0.72 times. A full MNAV calculation is included in the back of our Q2 2026 earnings PR release before the call. Native staking is an important component of the treasury, but it is only one component. We are also evaluating opportunities to enhance balance sheet productivity by lending capital to our ecosystem and strategic partners on a risk-adjusted basis. Our expanded relationship with Bluefin reflects that approach. Bluefin has developed a broad financial platform on series networks spanning perpetual and spot trading, lending, liquidity, and vault infrastructure. During the quarter, we lent an additional 4 million SUI tokens to Bluefin, bringing our total commitment to 6 million SUI tokens. In exchange, our participation in certain Bluefin revenues increased from 5% to 11%, payable in SUI. The amended agreement has an initial term extending through September 2028. We view the infrastructure as more than a lending arrangement. gives SUI Group economic exposure to the development of what we believe to be a core financial venue within the ecosystem and creates a return profile that is distinct from passive staking. It also demonstrates the role we believe SUI Group can occupy over time, a source of strategic capital for businesses building meaningful financial infrastructure on the SUI network, where the terms provide an appropriate balance of return, risk, and alignment. Active treasury management also requires a willingness to reduce exposure when conditions change. During Q2, following a reassessment of the risks associated with certain DeFi activities, we unwound those positions and recovered all amounts deployed. We do not regard capital deployments as permanent simply because a position has been established. Counterparty, protocol, liquidity, and operational risks must be evaluated continuously, particularly in markets that are developing rapidly. Separately, as of June 30, 2026, we have approximately 10 million SUI USD. Stablecoins are an essential component of on-chain financial markets because they provide the monetary base for payments, trading, lending, and settlements. Our participation in SUI-USDE is currently strategic rather than a material source of near-term revenue. It is intended to support liquidity and adoption within the SUI ecosystem, while positioning SUI Group alongside infrastructure that could become more economically significant as the network develops. We also continue to selectively allocate capital into high-convection themes at the intersection of digital assets, financial technology, and artificial intelligence. where we believe some of the most consequential developments in the Gen-Tech finance are beginning to take shape. One early example is Walrus, a decentralized storage network built on CIRI that allows AI agents to persist and retrieve memory on-chain. Its Walrus memory product recorded its first full month of Gen-Tech use in June with more than 3,500 unique agent owners and over 80,000 memory registered by agents. This emerging activity reinforces our view that autonomous systems will increasingly require specialized intelligence and infrastructure designed to support complex financial decision-making. Acting on our conviction in the GenTech finance, we invested $3 million through a SAFE in NL1, an artificial intelligence research company developing frontier artificial intelligence models specifically for financial markets. Its Alpha Arena platform was designed as a live benchmark to evaluate whether leading AI models could generate returns using real capital and autonomous trading decisions. The initial results demonstrated the limitations of general purpose models in financial markets and reinforced N of 1's thesis that effective AI-driven trading will require specialized training, infrastructure, and execution capability. NF1 is now developing its own models with expanded reasoning, research, and multi-step execution capabilities. Over time, we intend to evaluate whether those models can be used to support treasury yield and return generation, subject to appropriate testing, oversight, and risk controls. We also invested $3 million in recursive superintelligence as part of its $650 million financing round, which valued the company at more than $4 billion. Recursive is developing open-ended algorithms and artificial intelligence systems designed to improve their own capabilities over time. Its work is focused on creating systems that can support continuous self-directed scientific discovery rather than operating within a fixed set of predefined tasks. The company's team includes researchers and entrepreneurs with experience across OpenAI, DeepMind, Google Brain, and Meta. We believe that combination of technical depth and long-duration research ambition provides SUI Group with exposure to foundational capabilities that could influence how advanced autonomous systems operate across finance and other industries. N of 1 and recursive address different parts of the opportunity. N of 1 is focused on the near-term application of specialized agentic artificial intelligence to financial markets. while Recursive is pursuing underlying capabilities that could define the next generation of artificial intelligence. Together, these investments reflect our view that agentic finance will be shaped by both sides of that equation, increasingly capable autonomous systems and programmable financial infrastructure through which those systems can transact. As our activities expand, we are also focused on strengthening the institutional capabilities required to support the next phase of our development, that includes deepening our leadership bench, enhancing financial oversight, and ensuring that our governance and operating structure continue to evolve with the scale and complexity of the platform. The recent appointment of Christina Campbell as an independent director and chair of SUI Group's audit committee is an important example of that effort. Christina brings more than two decades of experience across digital assets, fintech payments, and high growth technology companies. She currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Ratbook and previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Ripple Labs and Pay Near Me. Experience building finance organizations, navigating evolving accounting and regulatory requirements, and overseeing digital assets related to financial governance will be directly relevant as we continue to scale. More broadly, the Board is continuing to assess the leadership, governance and organisational capabilities required to support SUI Group's long-term strategy. We want to ensure that our business has the depth of talent, financial discipline and operating infrastructure necessary to evaluate opportunities effectively and manage the balance sheet responsibly. Over the past year, SUI Group has progressed from establishing a treasury position to actively enhancing balance sheet productivity through risk-adjusted lending to our ecosystem and strategic partners and selectively allocating capital to technologies that we believe could shape the future of digital finance. Looking ahead, we remain focused on increasing SUI per share and improving the productivity of our balance sheet to generate attractive long-term returns. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our prudent approach to capital allocation, will enable us to deliver durable value to our shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Doug Polinsky, our Chief Executive Officer, to provide an update on our speciality finance operations.

Thank you, Mariusz, and thank you, everyone, for joining today's call. I'll provide a brief update on our legacy specialty finance business, where our focus is on actively managing the existing portfolio and protecting the value of the remaining investments. As we've discussed in prior periods, that business was built around providing short-term non-bank financing solutions and generating returns through interest income, transaction fees, and related investments. While the portfolio is now substantially smaller than it was historically, we continue to apply the same disciplined approach to underwriting, credit oversight, and portfolio management. During the first half of the year, we received approximately $900,000 of repayments and redemptions from legacy investments. As of June 30th, 2026, our remaining traditional lending portfolio consisted primarily of approximately $2.2 million of non-bank loans measured at fair value. We're continuing to monitor borrower performance, evaluate collateral and available sources of repayment, and work through individual positions to maximize recoveries. Certain borrowers continue to face credit and refinancing challenges, and we are addressing those situations on a loan by loan basis while considering the full range of contractual remedies available to us. Given the size and current composition of the portfolio, we do not expect our lending business to be a significant driver of new originations in the near term. We will remain selective, however, and would consider an opportunity where we have appropriate collateral protection, clear visibility into repayment, and a return profile that adequately compensates us for the risk. Although we continue to see selective opportunities in specialty finance, our resources and long-term priorities are increasingly concentrated on maximizing the value of Zulig Group through scalable, transparent, and long-term value creation strategies. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Joseph Geraci, to take you through our financial results. Joe?
