from CRYPTO 101 · host Bryce Paul & Brendan Viehman

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Scott Shay, co-founder of N3XT and former co-founder of Signature Bank, joins from the Out East Summit to explain why the banking system needs to be rebuilt on blockchain rails. He walks through his history building multiple banks, creating Signet as one of the first 24/7 blockchain-based banking payment systems, and why he believes legacy banking infrastructure is outdated, fragile, and too politically exposed.
