Credit Suisse's former head of operational risk says banks are looking to cash in on crypto this year by piling into ether.

“The kind of queries we receive show that ether is as popular as bitcoin among banks,” David Riegelnig, now chief executive of Swiss institutional crypto platform Rulematch told Financial News. “They don’t just ask about bitcoin, they ask for ether as well; it's on their wish list."
