NYDIG founder; institutional Bitcoin onboarding thesis

Ross Stevens is founder and executive chairman of NYDIG, a Bitcoin-focused financial services and technology firm spun out of Stone Ridge Asset Management, which he also founded. He built NYDIG into a platform enabling thousands of banks to offer Bitcoin services to retail and corporate clients. His core thesis holds that regulated financial institutions, not crypto-native firms, are the primary on-ramp for durable Bitcoin adoption.
