“Can a self-custodial, stablecoin-native 'operating account' replace a US business bank for globally-distributed startups?”
Altitude is a product of Selimor Investments Limited (dba Squads), the team behind Squads Protocol — the Solana multisig/smart-account standard securing $10B+ in assets. Altitude extends that self-custodial crypto infrastructure into a 'global operating account' for businesses: USD/EUR accounts, local payment rails across LatAm/EU, Visa corporate cards, and QuickBooks-synced accounting, with stablecoin settlement wired in by default. The strategic bet is that borderless, crypto-native businesses — AI startups, agencies, onchain teams — would rather hold USDC in a self-custodied wallet than open a US bank entity.
