Caitlin Long discusses the federal crackdown on banks serving the crypto industry, and what the future may hold. Sponsors: : Code: WOODS50 & Guest's Twitter: Guest's Website:
Innovation and regulation are quite often at odds. Technology relentlessly marches onward; yet it also needs to safely serve the common good. This is ever so true in banking. While banking may have traditionally been considered to be a rather conservative industry, its innovation curve has steepened significantly as physical banks have gone digital, digital banks have employed AI for lending, and managed accounts are embracing cryptocurrencies. Today's 7investing podcast features two banking experts, Caitlin Long and John Maxfield, who share their perspectives on the industry's innovation and offer their insights on: - How crypto-bank Silvergate managed (amazingly) to survive an 80% run on its deposits after the collapse of FTX. - Why overly-restrictive regulations such as excessive capital requirements and limitations on crypto might be soon to change. - What expectations the industry should have of the incoming SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and how he differs from outgoing chair Gary Gensler. - How 'debanking' is unfairly punishing many of the industry's key innovators In the final outro, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson plays a game of "over or under", to hear Caitlin and John's differing insights on a variety of popular companies and topics. This was truly an epic conversation between two banking Wyomingites! Follow @CaitlinLong_ and @MaxfieldonBanks on X/Twitter for even more of their insights.

De cryptowereld staat in de Verenigde Staten opnieuw in het teken van controverse rond overheidsbeleid. Verschillende prominente figuren, waaronder investeerders en tech-ondernemers, bekritiseren de vermeende ‘Operation Choke Point 2.0'. Dit beleid, gericht op het ontmoedigen van financiële diensten voor risicovolle sectoren zoals crypto, roept herinneringen op aan de eerste versie van Operation Choke Point, die onder de Obama-regering gericht was op controversiële industrieën zoals wapenhandel en gokken. Durfinvesteerder Marc Andreessen bracht het onderwerp onder de aandacht in de Joe Rogan-podcast, terwijl bankier Caitlin Long parallellen trekt met de #MeToo-beweging, waarbij de omvang van het probleem nu pas zichtbaar wordt. Voormalig Meta-topman David Marcus noemde het op sociale media een ‘politieke executie', vergelijkbaar met de teloorgang van Meta's cryptoproject Diem. Opmerkelijk is dat Donald Trump zich tijdens het Bitcoin-evenement in Nashville sterk maakte voor het beëindigen van Operation Choke Point 2.0 als hij de verkiezingen wint. Of hij dit kan waarmaken, blijft onzeker. Ondertussen vraagt de Nederlandse cryptosector zich af in hoeverre vergelijkbare obstakels hier spelen. Eerdere problemen rond het verkrijgen van bankrekeningen door cryptobedrijven lijken daarop te wijzen. In de prijsanalyse zien we dat Bitcoin ook deze week beweegt tussen de $91.000 en $98.000.Terwijl Bitcoin stagneert, is er opvallende beweging bij oude altcoins zoals XRP, Stellar Lumens en Cardano. Toch staan deze stijgingen niet in verhouding met de positie die deze munten in 2017 en 2021 hadden, zeker ten opzichte van Bitcoin. Op stablecoin-gebied is er ook nieuws: Tether stopt met zijn euro stablecoin EURT vanwege de nieuwe Europese cryptowet MICAR. De regelgeving vereist dat stablecoins een groot deel van hun onderliggende reserves bij banken stallen, wat volgens Tether risicovol is. Het bedrijf verdient doorgaans aan kortlopend schuldpapier en stelt dat deze verplichtingen hun model onder druk zetten. Tegelijkertijd investeert Tether in een Nederlands bedrijf dat een euro stablecoin aanbiedt, mogelijk een strategische zet om toch een voet aan de Europese markt te houden. Welke stablecoins wel onder MICAR blijven opereren, wordt een cruciale vraag voor de markt. Co-host is Bert Slagter.

Josh Lim: Founder of Arbelos MarketsIts officially Cnt Autumn -Sober October -lets go long everything- and cover my calls and puts on the margin in chocolate laxatives dipped in sticky ejaculation from the Sheik who likes Bitcoin. Baby I am back. Not from Token2049 Mars 2112, just from my Opium Buzz of procrastination and expensive porn. Since I have come down, I realize I might not be as rich and thin as the first wave of Solana Ho's but fear not, I have a plan. How? With the new wave of AI pump and dump penny stocks and the impending launch of DeSci-ientology; mixed with a Tasteful Only Fans account where I am fullyish clothed in Groupon Chanel and shill De-Pin tokens whilst simultaneously allowing you to suck my toes. Alas, it is possible that by COIN's next earnings call I could indeed have scammed by way to the top and finance my way to St Tropez on my own accord and alimony. And so, I stand in a seething quiet desperation of becoming amongst the upper echelon of the web3 ladies society. I must social climb my way to digital wealth. As such I was able to secure a seat at a horrific Vegan Crypto Dinner posing as a Caitlin Long after hacking into Luma. I quickly gathered what is happening in crypto, shockingly absolutely nothing, with remarkable dissatisfaction. Perhaps what is most depressing about my week is that I can no longer host a P Diddy White Party. I did stop by Rikers and realized over tea with no Splenda despite my incessant strongly worded letters, that both Diddy and SBF share the same thesis that ETH is undervalued, and that Justin Timberlake left N SYNC an album too late. From Rikers to Glitter Ledger Headquarters. I was deeply humbled to have my First Real Trader Guest Josh Lim- looking fresh and Asian in Polo Ralph Lauren 2002 Wimbledon collection moisturized and ready to teach me how to short the VIX with fervor. We first met in 2009 at Token North Korea whilst clearing out the skincare markets fighting for the last Avacado Mask, a new line by Kim Jung Un and Cardano. Josh Lim is SBF's way of giving back; because without SBF's megalomaniac crimes of astronomical proportions, Josh may still very well be plugging away at Genesis making exotic equity trades with half the X followers. Josh is what every parent ,Asian or not; hopes their child will become. He is a Digital Asset Celebrity; and instead of fading into oblivion, he used SBF's and Terra Luna's humiliation to create Arbelos Markets; a prop trading firm replete with a transparent little engine that could. I think I can trust crypto again. I interviewed Josh with the intention of learning how to turn my dwindling trustfund into a Hedging Machine of automatic trades but instead found a new best friend. He is not your typical Harvard Goldman Sachs Galaxy Genesis Entrepreneur Pseudo Articulate Intellectual type of Bro lacking depth and feelings; he is actually charismatic, funny and cool as hell. He has such acute insight into understanding the crypto market trading world that it made me believe for only a second that this entire thing is not bullshit even if I keep losing money. Josh you're a legend.
In this episode, Nik is joined by Caitlin Long to dissect the evolving landscape of crypto banking. She dives into the impact of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, exploring how government agencies viciously attacked the crypto sector. She explains how the powerful influence of the banking lobby shapes regulatory frameworks and sheds light on the inherent fragility of the traditional banking system and the dangers of blending crypto with legacy finance. The discussion also covers the double-edged nature of bitcoin ETFs, the regulatory disparity between small and big banks, and the rise of offshore dollar markets as a direct reaction to restrictive US policies. Caitlin specifically calls out Michael Barr, Elizabeth Warren, and Bharat Ramamurti as culprits in circumventing the rule of law to target the crypto industry.

Caitlin Long is the Founder and CEO of Custodia bank. In this interview, we discuss the financial system's instability, the impact of COVID-19, and the role of the Federal Reserve. We talk about the different types of banks, the stability of the banking system, the history of debt reduction by US presidents and the role of interest rates. The podcast also covers the power of federal bank regulators, the divide among Americans on various social issues and the potential of Bitcoin. - - - - The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably shaken the financial world. The Federal Reserve played a crucial role in stabilizing the banking system during this period. As with many other central banks, the Fed printed large amounts of money. However, we are still dealing with the serious consequences of the measures taken: high inflation has been generated, long-term treasuries have seen historic sell-offs, and there are concerns over the impact on the US Dollar. In this podcast with the Wall Street veteran Caitlin Long, we discuss the banking system in the wake of the unprecedented economic events that occurred as a result of the pandemic. We cover the significance of the separation of banking and commerce, and the differentiation between community banks, regional banks, and global systemically important banks. Caitlin explains the interplay between counterparty credit risk, bank runs and banking insolvency. We discuss the price of borrowing money, which Caitlin views as being the most important price in the economy. It determines how capital is allocated across time and industries. However, A good price of capital is hard to determine, and this price is often manipulated. Further, there has been a recent shift in focus from making money to wealth preservation in light of the devastating effects of inflation on people's lives, which materially affects capital markets. We also cover Caitlin's firm Custodia Bank and their Bitcoin custody platform. Despite concerns about the banking system, Caitlin explains that she is building a bank because she believes traditional finance and Bitcoin need to coexist. She discusses the need for a bridge between the two systems to ensure they don't harm each other, whilst marrying their respective attributes: the strong customer protections that come from being a bank with the best form of money. - Show notes: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/the-debt-tsunami This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

In recent years federal executive branch agencies have enacted a “whole of government” approach to hot-button topics like environmental, social, governance (ESG) and cryptocurrency regulation. This theory of policy administration combines the efforts of multiple executive branch agencies with different expertise and authorities toward achieving a singular objective.Some of the agencies marshaled to address cryptocurrency regulation include the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the banking regulators. Jurisdiction is often complicated by the nature of a particular asset, administration changes, and agency leaders’ personalities and priorities.How does current cryptocurrency regulatory policy align with the statutory authority and original purpose of these agencies? Are the agencies fulfilling legislative mandates to protect investors and promote safety and soundness? Or are they stretching their authority to achieve a policy outcome in the absence of legislative authorization?This panel will examine the issue of cryptocurrency regulation and statutory authority of executive agencies.Featuring:Mr. Brian P.

A Consensus 2023 panel with Michael Casey, Caitlin Long, Neha Narula and Erik Voorhees.The crash of 2022 laid bare how far the cryptocurrency industry strayed from its early ideals, becoming as opaque as the system it challenged, and this year's banking panics have underscored its reliance on that system. On the eve of CoinDesk's tenth anniversary, it's an appropriate moment to take stock of how the industry lost its way, and whether and how it can still deliver on its original promises of greater transparency and resilience. After all, bank runs and runaway inflation merely highlight the need to rethink the legacy paradigm.Michael Casey, CoinDesk's chief content officer, moderates alongside panelists:Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia BankNeha Narula, director of Digital Currency InitiativeErik Voorhees, founder of ShapeShiftThis episode is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and edited by Ryan Huntington, with additional production assistance from Eleanor Pahl.

A Consensus 2023 panel with Caitlin Long, Richard Booth and Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie.The demise of three crypto-friendly banks, along with not-so-subtle pressure from U.S. regulators, exacerbated a longstanding problem. Ever since the early days of bitcoin, startups in the field struggled to obtain or keep basic bank accounts as traditional financial institutions feared regulatory and reputational consequences from associating with anything “crypto”-coded. Industry veterans discuss this perennial challenge and possible solutions.Michael Casey, CoinDesk's chief content officer, moderates alongside panelists:Richard Booth, chief compliance officer of Fortress Trust CompanyOliver von Landsberg-Sadie, founder and CEO of BCB GroupCaitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia BankThis episode is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and edited by Ryan Huntington, with additional production assistance from Eleanor Pahl.

Caitlin Long is the Founder and CEO of Custodia bank. In this interview, we discuss the events that have led to three banking failures within a week, one of which saw the biggest bank run on record. We talk about anti-crypto coordination involving the US government, the inherent instability of the traditional finance system and how this is another signal that the game is up. - - - - As the saying goes, to lose one bank may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose two banks looks like carelessness. How should we regard the loss of three banks within a week? To the uninitiated, this may look like a contagion, but it's the impacts of two different systemic problems affecting two different markets: crypto and fiat. What it lays bare is the hypocrisy and instability of the traditional financial system. The failures of Silvergate and Signature are rooted in the 2022 implosion in crypto. Precipitated by the collapse of Luna, we all know what followed: a nest of over-leveraged, hypothecated and fraudulent investments that fell like a house of cards. Who knows when it will end. Regardless, more recent failures seem to have been expedited by coordinated government action. The obvious signal from the levers of power is that crypto is bad, and traditional finance is good. But what should have been an opportunity for the government to present the perceived weaknesses within digital asset markets, was significantly undercut by the biggest bank run in history: Silicon Valley Bank's customers were withdrawing more than $1 million per second for 10 hours straight a little over a week ago. The sorry mess is actually a clear vindication of Bitcoiners' assertions that both crypto and fiat are both fundamentally unstable. The search for yield is endemic. The management of risk is too often criminally deficient. The argument is that narrow banking (full reserve banking) will suck deposits from risky banks, making risky banks even riskier, increasing systemic risk. However, the system is becoming increasingly dysfunctional. Moral hazard seems endemic. Increasingly large bailouts are being used to keep the game going. The aim is to maintain the illusion that the financial system is stable. It is anything but, and everyone knows it. We're entering a period on unknown risks. The time to change the rules of the game has long passed.
“The Fed's going to end up having to expand its balance sheet again, to proverbially print money, in order to provide the extra cash for the banks to be able to meet the demand deposit withdrawal; the banks should have been sitting on that cash all along.”— Caitlin LongCaitlin Long is the Founder and CEO of Custodia bank.
