MakeBanc founder Chris Mihos shares insights from his fifth startup in an exclusive interview. (Context: OpenAI eating the application layer? a16z: Opportunities lie beyond the "Yellow Brick Road," and the best is yet to come for founders) (Background: Foresight Ventures: What is a decentralized AI Marketplace?) This article is a press release written and provided by MakeBanc and does not represent the position of BlockTempo. Alex: Please start with a brief self-introduction. Chris: My background is quite eclectic. Born in Melbourne, grew up in Hong Kong, later returned to Australia, and worked between Europe and Asia—I’ve done mining, energy, fashion, retail, and now crypto. This is my fifth startup—four learning opportunities and one exit, that’s how I describe myself. Being a founder is an endurance sport, I’m certain of that. Alex: You’ve done many startups, and now MakeBanc is your latest. When you saw "institutions" and "crypto" converging and becoming inseparable, what made you decide to enter this market? Chris: The most important thing I’ve learned on the startup journey is: you must solve a "pain point"—and a real, deep pain, not just a "problem." This is the fundamental difference between a painkiller solution and a vitamin solution. Institutions now truly understand the power of this technology. I think you have to break "crypto" down—many people bundle it into one thing, but it’s actually four things: - Commodity: Like Bitcoin, a store of value, similar to gold. - Equity: Like Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Aave, with clear operational and profit potential. - Currency: Fiat equivalents like stablecoins. - Tech: Underlying infrastructure. Institutions are now starting to use crypto tech and stablecoins to trade equivalents of equity and commodities—this is the real unlock point, and the potential is huge. Alex: Why is this unlock only starting now? Chris: Historically, there were two major gates blocking the way. The first is the technical gate. Crypto is too complex: you have to be your own Chief Security Officer, understand global rails, be familiar with staking, bridging, "Not your keys, not your assets"—a learning curve that both individual users and institutions have to overcome. The second is the TradFi gate. Once you enter, the question isn't "how to make money," it's "how not to lose money." The more mature and institutionalized you get, the less the focus is on earning, and the more it is on not losing. Early crypto was about touching anything and going to the moon; that was pure growth marketing; the meme coin era was the same. But now we are entering the maturity phase. What MakeBanc wants to do is remove the structural friction behind these two gates and abstract away the complexity—allowing users (whether institutions or retail) to do three things: earn money, protect it, and use it. Alex: What is the core of MakeBanc? Chris: Our hypothesis is: the best at helping capital earn money are professional asset managers—those with hedge fund experience, running arbitrage strategies, doing directional (long/short), or fine-tuning combinations of multiple strategies. These people have accumulated decades of expertise. It’s simple: when it comes to making money, let experts do what experts do. But the problem is, it’s structurally difficult to access them safely. The historical solution was SMA (separately managed account) opened through major exchanges like Binance, because that’s where the liquidity is. But SMA has counterparty risk—exchanges can fail. The thing crypto-native users are best trained in is this: who holds my assets? How do I ensure ownership? How do I ensure I don’t get hacked or exploited in various ways? Our solution: maintain non-custodial ownership of assets through strong partners, then hand them over to professional asset managers to execute trades, while providing 100% asset insurance covering technical risks. We also abstract away the complexity of on-ramp/off-ramp—you want to use crypto, use crypto; you want to use fiat, use fiat, it’s your choice; set up a fiat virtual account, and the experience will be like Revolut, Wise, or any neobank. The name MakeBanc itself, "make bank" is slang for making money. We are helping people make bank. Alex: In crypto or trading, trust is the most important thing. You are still a startup; how do you get institutions to trust you? Chris: This is the problem we are obsessed with. We have a mantra: Only the paranoid survive. If you’ve been in crypto for a while, this is how you stay alive. We break trust into three layers: Layer
