In the meantime, here are the key quotes from the day… 

• “Enabling crypto impacts your business because it adds a consistent new revenue stream, deepens existing customer relationships and drives new customer acquisition.” -   Walter Hessert, Head of Strategy

• “PayPal’s entrance into crypto at the end of last year was the biggest news in blockchain in 2020. It kicked off the shift from early adopters to mainstream financial companies participating in a trillion-dollar market opportunity. And it was powered by Paxos.” - Kyle Libra, Director of Product 

• “Crypto services are regulated in the US at both the federal and state level. But working with a regulated Trust company like Paxos adds value because we can help you avoid the patchwork of state-by-state requirements.” - Emily Meyers, Deputy General Counsel 

• “When you’re considering a partner for crypto services, custody is crucial for protecting your customers assets and liquidity is important for ensuring an amazing customer experience.” - Shai Borochov, Engineering Manager 

• “Stablecoins grew significantly throughout 2020. In terms of market capitalization, they represent a top 50 global bank, but we believe they’ll be a top 5 global bank in the coming years. That scale creates enormous business opportunities.” Jamar Parris, Senior Product Manager
