The people who lead the national banking regulatory agencies typically come from long careers in banking and law with a traditional view of the banking world. But there has been one exception to this rule.My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One Podcast is Brian Brooks, the former acting head of the OCC and a current partner at O'Melveny & Myers. Now, don't get me wrong, Brian has had a long career in banking and law but he has also spent time outside of traditional finance, thinking deeply about financial innovation.He came to the OCC from Coinbase and he has been an advisor or board member to several other companies in crypto and fintech. So, his perspective on the banking industry, as you will hear in this interview, is very different from your typical banking regulator.In this podcast you will learn:How the financial crisis shaped his career.The three dimensions of finance he is trying to knit together.How he came to join the OCC from Coinbase.How Brian was able to gain the trust of the big bank CEOs.The most important idea that he had while leading the OCC.How he looks back at his 10 months as OCC head.How we could have easily avoided the FTX blowup.Why the regulators were reluctant to make these simple changes.The core ideological debate that Republicans and Democrats have over crypto.Why the failures of Silvergate and Signature were more about concentration risk than specifically crypto.What he says to people who want to ban crypto.How decentralized finance can get scale and not run afoul of US regulators.How US-dollar stablecoins could help mitigate the risk of de-dollarization.What regulatory changes need to happen to take advantage of new financial technology.Connect with Brian on LinkedInConnect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

In the first half of March, three banks - Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and Silvergate - all had relatively classic bank runs and collapsed. Which sparked some major banking stress. As a result, the Federal Reserve got a lot of requests to use one of its oldest and most important tools for soothing such troubles: the discount window.The discount window is like a safety net for banks. And recently, a lot of banks have needed it. So, what is the discount window, where did it come from, and how does it work? And, amidst all the recent banking turmoil, has it been working the way it should? In this episode, we crack open the discount window.This episode was produced by Emma Peaslee with help from Willa Rubin. It was engineered by Katherine Silva.

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.

Highlights:  ●      “If banks have a hedge against their bond portfolios, they should have access to the capital they need to withstand a temporary run on their deposits; but if not, then they risk going the way of SVB and Silvergate and Signature Bank, selling off their securities at a loss that prevents them from paying back nervous depositors.” ●      “The key here is that there are signs that our banks are becoming less and less depositories of choice.” ●      “For 15 years, the Fed has basically told financial institutions that zero-interest rates were the wave of the future, so go ahead and buy up bonds until you're blue in the face with no need for a hedge against inflation and rising interest rates, and if anything does go wrong, we'll just bail you out! Well, it looks like more and more depositors want nothing to do with that system.”   Timestamps:  [01:57] What Bush and Obama did in response to what happened in 2008 [04:36] Why SVB collapsed and the number one question that every bank and financial institution has to answer to avoid the same fate as SVB [07:48] The 2nd question that's coming out of this and why there are signs that our banks are becoming less and less depositories of choice Resources: ●      Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.
