Episode notes

I think I'm kind of going to say this time is different. If you look at like 2017 and 2018, nothing made sense. One actually moves prices in crypto in the long term. You assess the team. How confident is the team that's building it? How confident are the developers? How innovative is the protocol? What does the user experience look like? Are they getting users because they're paying them?

GoldenTree, one of the largest independent asset managers with $47 billion AUM recently announced their official foray into the crypto space with a new subsidiary GoldenChain and a $5.2 million investment in Sushi

While traditional funds entering the crypto space is becoming more common, GoldenTree’s entrance is huge news because of their caliber and active investment strategy

Today on Blockcrunch, we have Avi Felman, GoldenChain’s Head of Digital Asset Trading to share with us:

How might crypto markets evolve over the years
Frameworks for short-term and long-term trading
GoldenChain’s thesis for $5.2 million investment into Sushi and their plans
