Episode 69 | Bentzi Rabi from Utila on MPC wallets for digital assets operations

The Accountant Quits Podcast

In its early days, businesses used crypto mainly for trading.

However, more use cases have emerged in recent times.

Making payments with crypto as we all know is lightning fast, but businesses utilizing self-custodial wallets need a full-fledged infrastructure with advanced customization.

For example, managing user permissions and roles, creating approval workflows, and having quick integrations with exchanges or DeFi apps.

The war for enterprise wallets is raging, and teams have to decide whether to opt for a fully decentralized multisig solution or rather a centralized MPC wallet infrastructure.

To help us understand how companies can use crypto for operations and manage their treasury, I spoke with Bentzi Rabi, the CEO and founder of Utila, an enterprise-grade solution for digital assets.
