Didier Lavallée

Brian Cubellis sits down with Didier Lavallée, CEO of Tetra Trust, to explore how Canada's regulatory environment has positioned it as a global leader in institutional Bitcoin custody. Didier shares his journey from UBS and RBC to founding Tetra, highlighting the limitations of legacy financial infrastructure that drove him toward digital assets. The conversation dives deep into Tetra's role as a partner in OnRamp's multi-institution, multi-jurisdiction custody model, which uses a 2-of-3 multi-sig quorum with BitGo, CoinCover, and Tetra. This groundbreaking custody structure, dubbed 'cubed custody,' is designed to protect large institutional Bitcoin holdings against both negligence and malfeasance at any single custodian.
