Event Follow-Up with SALT’s CPO

We want to thank everyone who watched & participated in Bitcoin Magazine’s Halving live-stream celebration with us last month. To address some of the questions that came up from the event including questions regarding the SALT token, our CPO Rob Odell sat down with one of their team members for a follow-up video. You can learn more about the changes we’ve made to the SALT token from our blog post, New Changes Add Value for SALT Supporters.

Black Lives Matter

As operations at SALT carry on, it is not lost on us, as a company nor as individuals, that Black Americans continue to fight for racial justice. Until racism is eradicated completely, we are committed to hearing, learning from, and supporting our Black customers & communities in this fight for a more inclusive world. As we reflect internally on the immediate changes SALT can make to support this mission, we have proactively chosen to make Juneteenth a company holiday to honor the significance of June 19, 1865.

Year in Review 2018

2018 was quite the year for SALT.

Between two public product launches, 32 event appearances, and the addition of new collateral types and jurisdictions, there’s no doubt we’ve accomplished a lot this year. When reflecting on how we did it, a few factors come to mind.

For one, we drank a ton of coffee (not literally but it was a lot) and even more La Croix. We also communicated a lot more — not only with each other, but with our community.

And most importantly, we grew. Not just in terms of our jurisdictions and team members but also in terms of our brand and vision.

For SALT, 2019 will be the year of expansion.

We know that crypto-backed lending is at our core and we’re proud of the business we’ve built. As we continue to maintain and grow our lending business, we’re also excited to expand our financial offerings to include products beyond lending.

On top of that, we believe in fostering the adoption of blockchain technology and that means making it more accessible. Right now, the use of this emerging technology seems to be limited to those who are experts in the blockchain space. We’re solving for this by developing a suite of applications that will enable businesses of all sizes — whether they are already in the blockchain space or are looking to enter it — to leverage this technology in a way that benefits them and their customers.

In 2019 we are focused on further building out these two components of the business and we’re excited for what that means for our company, you, and the future of finance.
