Mike Hagedorn is also listed as president  .Erebor plans to hold stablecoins on its balance sheet, aiming to be “the most regulated entity conducting and facilitating stablecoin transactions”  .It targets the growing need for banking solutions by crypto startups and high-risk tech ventures that traditional lenders shy away from, particularly following Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in March 2023  .Why it matters now:SVB’s collapse left a gap in banking for tech and crypto companies. Erebor is directly aiming to fill that niche  .With its stablecoin-ready infrastructure and digital-centric model, it’s positioning itself at the forefront of the future of fintech and Web3 banking  .Erebor’s registration for a fully regulated national charter signals serious intent to serve as a compliant and credible alternative to unregulated crypto platforms  .
