The Ex-Coinbase Custody Boss Wants Your Business Bank Account to Run on Stablecoins
Dakota looks like a normal business bank account. Underneath, your dollars are stablecoins backed by Treasuries you actually control - and that quiet swap is the whole pitch.
The Yen Rescue Hiding America’s Trillion-Dollar Bond Problem

Nathan Allman
Nathan Allman was the founder and CEO of Ondo Finance, the firm that did more than almost anyone to drag tokenized U.S. Treasuries from a whitepaper idea into a multi-billion-dollar reality. A Brown graduate and former Goldman Sachs digital-assets trader, he left Wall Street in early 2021 to build what he framed as a decentralized investment bank, betting that boring, yield-bearing, regulation-aware products - not speculation - would be how traditional finance finally moved on-chain. Under his watch Ondo grew to roughly $3.5 billion in total value locked, launching USDY, OUSG, Ondo Global Markets and the institution-focused Ondo Chain. He died unexpectedly in May 2026.
