As the cryptocurrency industry matures, a growing focus on regulated finance is bringing a more pragmatic approach to blockchain technology. While crypto’s potential has been touted as revolutionizing financial systems, many products and services remain off-limits to institutions due to a lack of compliance tools. This presents a challenge for banks, OTC desks, and other large investors seeking to participate in the digital asset economy. Bridge is a new communication platform specifically designed to solve these challenges. It bridges the gap between traditional finance and crypto by providing secure and compliant messaging channels for institutional use cases.
