The Origin Story of Figment

Ben: I was working in trad fi, working on a bond desk. One of my colleagues got into it through the DeFi route and started talking to me about it. So eventually I started looking at it and reading up on it. And yeah, it hooked me. I fell in love with it. We were doing some sub custody work for some of theETFs, Bitcoin and E3 ETFs. It just so happens that someone on the sale side of Figment was on a call and it became known around the firm that I was very interested in crypto,. So I was included as a courtesy. Anyway, long story short, I kept up with some folks at Figment.
