Episode 8 is a quick dip in the pool of Digital Assets. Chase and I talk about the current state of play in the crypto space and discuss current and future directions for this exciting industry. I completely agree with Chase's position that digital assets are the next payment rail that FI's should be looking at. Now is the time, specifically for credit unions, to stake a claim or be left behind as we're seeing the traditional big baddies like MasterCard and Visa start to move in and plant their flags. This is an opportunity to offer a lower cost and faster speed payment option to members. For more information about what Chase and St Cloud Financial are doing with Daland see the links below.
