Wallet infrastructure is the new core banking layer

Owning the UI used to mean owning the customer. On blockchain, whoever controls the wallet controls the relationship. In this clip from the Banking Bootcamp, Fireblocks Financial Markets Economist Neil Chopra breaks down why wallet infrastructure is becoming the central layer for digital asset services at banks, and walks through the three use cases scaling in production today: custody and brokerage, stablecoin payments, and tokenization.

This is a highlight from Episode 1 of the Banking Bootcamp, a three-part series produced in partnership with American Banker. Watch the full session here: https://youtu.be/uiYr23cXtB0
