Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Palmer Luckey and a group of tech billionaires have founded a new crypto-focused US bank called Erebor. The bank will focus on providing capital for technology startups, AI ventures, defense and manufacturing industries, and cryptocurrency endeavors, as well as for individuals looking to invest in these spaces. It has applied for a national bank charter and is pushing for a digital-only model. Erebor will differentiate itself by doing business with entities and customers that are not as well served by traditional financial institutions, particularly those with insufficient access to credit.
