Basics

"In January 2014, Silvergate became one of the first banks willing to open accounts for cryptocurrency exchanges. Since then, the bank has grown to serve 750 cryptocurrency exchanges, including Bitstamp, Coinbase, Kraken and Gemini and institutional cryptocurrency investors like Block Town, Polychain and Figure. In 2017 Silvergate launched its proprietary exchange network that lets investors move funds to cryptocurrency exchanges around the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dubbed the Silvergate Exchange Network, it is currently built using a traditional centralized database, meaning only Silvergate can use it, but a blockchain version leveraging shared databases is currently in the works."
