When @mikebelshe and I founded @BitGo back in 2014, "institutional crypto" wasn’t really a phrase people used. We were just trying to build the plumbing, specifically multi-sig wallets, that would make it safe for businesses to actually touch Bitcoin. We’ve come a long way from the MtGox era to ETF approvals. The infrastructure is here. The institutions are here. Now, the market is ready for the next generation of public companies. That is why I’m excited to share that I have joined the board of KRAKacquisition Corp (NASDAQ: KRAQU) as an Independent Director. $KRAQU is a newly listed SPAC that just raised $345M to identify and take public a market-leading company at the intersection of DeFi and TradFi. This isn’t just another blank check company. We are backed by the combined operational and investment muscle of @krakenfx and @tribecap. Having spent the last decade building and investing in this space, I know that the gap between "crypto-native" and "public markets ready" is the hardest one to bridge. I’m looking forward to working with @RTanuku, @mooredant, @brevsin and the rest of the board to find a target that is ready to make that leap!
Thanks @mikebelshe for your vision and leadership for 13 years! Honored to have played my part, and grateful to be there with the team today.
