Custodia Bank CEO Warns of Traditional Finance’s Vulnerability in Crypto Winter

Caitlin Long, CEO of Custodia Bank, suggests that established financial institutions are ill-equipped to handle the volatility inherent in cryptocurrencies. While large institutional investors have fueled recent market growth, Long believes they lack the necessary risk tolerance models for dealing with the complexities of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, potentially leading to instability during a future bear market. Long explains that real-time settlement in crypto differs drastically from traditional systems, creating friction points as institutions grapple with these changes.
