  As a representative from BYDFi, I can say that the introduction of SOFR in the cryptocurrency market is an important step towards further legitimizing the industry. It aligns with the global trend of transitioning from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. SOFR's adoption can enhance market efficiency and reduce systemic risks. It is expected to attract more institutional investors and improve the overall credibility of the cryptocurrency market. However, it's important to note that the impact of SOFR on individual cryptocurrencies and exchanges may vary.
