BitGo CEO Mike Belshe and COO Jeff Horowitz talk about one of the hottest topics facing the crypto industry today: regulation. They discuss…
- what BitGo does
- why Jeff left his successful TradFi career to go crypto
- how crypto compliance and custody differs from the traditional finance world
- the state of crypto education amongst regulators
- why Jeff and Mike think the infrastructure bill is a win for the crypto industry
- what FinCEN is doing to regulate crypto
- why they think the infrastructure bill’s goal of raising billions in crypto taxes could only bring in millions
- what FATF guidance regarding VASPs requires of crypto companies
- why the travel rule could lead to US customer data being shared overseas
- how digital assets change the implications of the travel rule
- how regulators are attempting to deal with DeFi
- what the FATF guidance means for FATF countries, like the US
- why DeFi is not ready for strict regulations
- Jeff’s views on Brian Brooks’s departure from BinanceUS
- the Galaxy Digital acquisition of BitGo
- what security issues a trillion-dollar wallet presents
- why BitGo refused to put a “freeze” function in its WBTC contract
- why Tesla and MicroStrategy purchased BTC and why other companies have been slow to follow suit
- whether BitGo will offer NFT solutions going forward
