Around things digital assets we have huge momentum. Who is going to win? To understand where we might be headed, I caught up with somebody who thinks about things crypto aka digital assets for a living.

Kenny spends his time thinking about who the winners and losers are going to be. He shared his thoughts on what he sees as the differentiators, and just as importantly his view on what is important for institutional investments to be made. This is not investment advice, just a view on how the digital asset space will develop. If you do want investment advice, feel free to contact Kenny.

Read on for more, and please do share a comment or two.
