Description

In part 1 of this two-part series, we sit down with Ben Reynolds, Managing Partner and Head of Stablecoins at BitGo (Former President and Chief Strategy Officer at Silvergate Bank) and Michael Perito, Head of Bank Strategy at Travillian, taking a journey back in time to the early days of Silvergate Bank. A look back at Silvergate’s growth in crypto, its attempts at launching a global stablecoin, and its eventual wind-down, left many important lessons learned around novel banking activities which should help build a stronger foundation for innovation in the future.
