Caitlin Long Warns New Institutions May Fold During Next Crypto Winter


According to Custodia Bank CEO Ketleen Long, traditional finance investors are lacking updated risk tolerance models to deal with Crypto and may face trouble during the next bear market.

“Big Finance is here in a big way, and it is running this cycle. I suspect that it will continue to run this cycle,” told CNBC at the Vyoming Blockchain Seminar on Friday.

Long said that heritage financial institutions are comfortable to benefit in large quantities due to unsuccessful-safe-reserved, such as discount window and other “mistake tolerance.”

However, he warned that these advantages disappear in the crypto, where there is a real -time disposal. The CEO said that mismatched between crypto and heritage systems can create a liquidity crunch for these institutions:

“Those types of mistake tolerance is made in the system due to heritage, where the systems were not updating in real time. In Crypto, everything should be real time, and it is just a separate animal.

I am worried about how they will respond when the bear market essentially reappears. I know that some who are optimistic and think that it will not come again. I have been around since 2012, so I know it is coming again, ”he said.
