Nirup Ramalingam, CEO of BridgePort, explains how crypto’s biggest hidden issue is inefficient infrastructure—specifically capital being trapped across exchanges due to pre-funding requirements. BridgePort solves this by enabling off-exchange settlement, allowing institutions to keep assets with custodians while allocating capital dynamically, improving liquidity and efficiency. He emphasizes that low liquidity and volatility in crypto are largely driven by macro conditions and outdated systems, not a lack of demand. Ultimately, the next phase of crypto growth depends on better infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and institutional-grade systems that mirror traditional finance.
