it's very interesting that one of the leaders of the biggest bank is abandoning banking and turning to crypto... I don't know what to make of it to be honest..
More financial jobs being created in this sector. It's more challenging and exciting. Who wouldn't quit their banking role to do something radical. He will have fun, learn new things, meet new people. And he will bring in all his expertise into the crypto scene. It's a complete win-win. We want more banking leaders to leave and join this sector. :) It will happen regardless.
