Podcast: Is your institution ready for cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency has been a hot topic for pretty much the last decade. Although it continues to rise in popularity, financial institutions haven’t been quick to embrace it.

But change seems to be on the horizon. In July, the OCC released an interpretive letter authorizing financial institutions to provide cryptocurrency custody services for their customers.

Join us for this latest episode of the Bank on Wipfli podcast as we ask the question, “Will financial institutions see the benefits of cryptocurrency and other digital assets?”

Our guest this episode is Wipfli Manager Andrew Belz, who provides advisory services to financial institutions, with a specialization in blockchain and cryptocurrency. Andrew talks with Wipfli Partner Mike Vesel about the current state of financial institutions and cryptocurrency, plus what they see coming in the future.
