Even bough bm won't tell us much about the bank he has been in talks with, I think it would be kind of fun to take some guesses. Also, how big do you guys think this bank is? Will you be disappointed if it is a smaller bank? Does it have to be a U.S. Bank, or could it be a lesser known European or Canadian bank? Do you think they will integrate only Bitshares or multiple cryptos?
My guess is it's USAA. I just read an article on coin desk and they seem to be very open and have already experimented with several chains. My guess is they try several then pick one. Maybe stellar is on their short list and this so why they have been rising?
