  • The Federal Deposit Insurance Department (FDIC) had to step in to rescue the banks last weekend.
  • CZ and others reiterate their desire to see exchanges regulated like banks.
  • CZ gives some interesting parting thoughts for the industry to consider: don't lend out customer money to make money, let VCs do that; no revenue? charge a transparent fee for your services, like facilitating transactions (tx); tx cost too high? use blockchain tech to lower your costs; keep business simple.
