Off The Chain

Caitlin Long is the founder and CEO of Custodia Bank and a pioneer at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto. This conversation was recorded live at Bitcoin Investor Week in New York. In this conversation, we break down stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and U.S. banking regulation, explaining why stablecoins were pushed outside the banking system and how tokenized dollars could reshape payments and markets. We also discusses custody risk, bank account closures, bitcoin ETFs, and the key barriers still slowing crypto’s integration into traditional finance.========================Bitget (⁠https://bitget.com/promotion/futures-tradfi?channelCode=regd&vipCode=nkew⁠) is the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX) (⁠https://bitget.com/promotion/futures-tradfi?channelCode=regd&vipCode=nkew⁠), serving over 125 million users with access to over 2M+ crypto tokens, and TradFi markets such as 100+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX and precious metal like Gold.
