Former Signature Bank Executives Launch Blockchain-Based Bank

N3XT offers 24/7 instant B2B payments with a full-reserve model, targeting cryptocurrency, shipping, and foreign exchange sectors, backed by notable investors including Winklevoss Capital.

  • On Thursday, three former Signature Bank executives, including Scott Shay, launched N3XT in Cheyenne as a Wyoming-chartered SPDI enabling 24/7 instant blockchain payments.
  • After Signature Bank's March 2023 seizure, founders designed N3XT with a structure distancing it from Signature's overreliance on uninsured deposits and cited `poor management`.
  • The bank will operate a full-reserve, non-lending model to keep client funds liquid, with every deposit backed one-to-one by cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries and reserves held by outside custodial partners, Jeffrey Wallis said, noting N3XT will not have FDIC insurance like other SPDIs.
  • The bank is prioritizing digital asset firms and already reports clients from crypto, shipping, logistics, and foreign exchange sectors, with many clients onboarding for a stable payments platform.
  • Investors including Paradigm and Winklevoss Capital say N3XT embodies a shift to internet-native, 24/7/365 dollar transfers, backed by founder Scott Shay's experience growing Signature to $110 billion assets.
