A small lender in Texas is attracting significant attention in cryptography and political circles. Monett Bank, a community bank with assets under $6 billion, has rebranded twice this year and refocused as a cryptocurrency-focused infrastructure bank.
The move is significant because its owner, billionaire Andy Bell, a key Trump ally, is now positioning the organization in what analysts have described as a rapidly expanding pro-bitcoin power network surrounding Donald Trump.
