    The Factory: Does Regulation Help or Hurt Crypto? with Wyatt Clancy, VP of GlobalStake

    Welcome to The Factory. We’re bringing one thesis per episode from thought leaders willing to put their name on it. We pair this op-ed with a live conversation, then open an opinion market on Fact Machine so the audience can weigh in. Opinions published, debated, quantified. Episode one asks a question that sounds simple and isn’t: what does institutional staking actually require and why aren’t most providers ready for it? Our guest is Wyatt Clancy, VP of GlobalStake, a vertically integrated bare-metal staking provider. They own their servers, run their own validators across tier 4 and 5 data centers, and are one of the few operators built to withstand a public company audit. Clancy came up in traditional finance — Series 7 licensed, family office background — and argues that crypto staking infrastructure was built for retail, not institutions, and the gap is more urgent than the industry admits. Takeaways Ownership of data center infrastructure is crucial for security and performance.Regulatory standards like SOC2 and Tier 4 data centers are the gold standard for institutional staking.Diversification in staking reduces counterparty risk.Transparency and reporting are vital for institutional trust.Proactive regulation and education are key to industry growth.Find the Opinion article from Thomas Chaffee, Co-founder of Global Stake on Daily Crypto News: https://www.dailycryptonews.net/p/the-factory-without-standards-for?r=3p4fu6 Here are the results from the Opinion Market on Fact Machine: https://alpha.factmachine.com/market/w1sgtob4i4s1d6wn5lq6798gd
