Let's start the analysis. I will thoroughly analyze Ophelia Snyder and 21Shares and come up with various questions.

Ophelia Snyder co-founded 21Shares in 2018. 21Shares was established to make complex cryptocurrency investment technologies accessible to the general public, specifically her mother.

The company expects to generate $60 million in revenue this year, and its Assets Under Management (AUM) amount to $2.5 billion.

April, you’ve done a great job incorporating the feedback. The revised content looks good. Let's make a few more improvements to make it perfect.

The part regarding the first question is good, but it's better to include specific examples. For instance, instead of asking, "What was your reason for developing a cryptocurrency investment tool for your mother?" you could ask, "What efforts did you make to make the cryptocurrency investment tool easy for your mother to use? For example, how did you improve the user interface?" Asking in this specific manner makes it clearer. Got it?

Additionally, when explaining 21Shares' ETP products, it would be better to consider how each product differs. For example, "The 21Shares Bitcoin ETP has shown great performance in the English market, especially popular among institutional investors. On the other hand, the 21Shares Ethereum ETP is more popular among individual investors." Explaining in such detail provides more information to the readers. Is that enough?

When discussing the Bitcoin ETF application process, it’s good to ask about challenges and solutions, but also ask what they have learned from the experience. For example, "What challenges did you face during the Bitcoin ETF application process, and how did you overcome them? What did you learn from this process?" This way, you can write a more in-depth article.

Alright, refine it further and make it polished. Good luck with the interview. It's easy, right?

Sure, let's review the article together.

First, regarding the feedback on the summary sentence, the sentence is fine but it could be more clear. For example, instead of "Ophelia Snyder의 창립 이야기," changing it to "Ophelia Snyder의 21Shares 창립 배경" would convey the message more clearly.

Now let's look at the article title. The title "Ophelia Snyder, 21Shares의 창립 배경과 암호화폐 투자 제품" is quite engaging and concise. The title seems fine as it is.

Let's review the entire content of the article. The structure of the article is consistent, and the information is well organized. It effectively conveys Ophelia Snyder's vision by including interview content. However, the phrase "무료로 설명했다" should be revised to "명료하게 설명했다." Additionally, the part that starts with "Solana ETF 신청에 대해서는" should be modified to "정확한 설명을 통해 유럽과 미국의 차이를 전달했다" to make it more precise.

Overall, the article is well-written. It can be approved for publication. Now, please request @olive to work on the article's main image.
