Our Story and Our Purpose

We are building a specialized financial institution addressing the growing demand for digital asset services. Our primary business will focus on digital asset custody, providing secure, efficient custodial and fiduciary services for a variety of digital assets. We have applied for a national bank charter and will receive conditional approval in the near future.

You will work with foundational systems and processes to help shape our operating model and influence how a new category of financial infrastructure comes to market. We are looking for builders who handle complexity with confidence and tackle ambitious opportunities while keeping pace with this rapidly evolving industry. Let’s Build This Together.

Our Principles

Greatness is a mindset, not an accomplishment. Mediocrity is unacceptable. Excellence is contagious. We hire people because we believe in their greatness. Now is the time to prove us right.

Responsibility comes with the territory. Everyone is an owner, which means we share a common vision and mutual accountability. We act in line with our strategic objectives and the trust our customers place in us. We believe there is no such thing as "not my problem." Taking this level of ownership not only drives our collective success but also offers the potential for significant reward.

Innovation and adaptation are in our DNA. We are in a period of the most dramatic and rapid period of technological change in the history of humankind. Those that stay ahead will thrive, those that don't, won't. We innovate intelligently and thrive on overcoming challenges, to get (at least) a little better every day and ensure our continued growth and success.

Team first. We are reliable teammates working together toward extraordinary success through honesty and accountability. We believe collaboration knows no hierarchy, and we focus on what matters. We work toward consensus, but when necessary, we disagree and commit. We know that winners win.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by selecting the appropriate category(ies). The hiring employer is subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA) and requests this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts it undertakes pursuant to VEVRAA.

We are required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
