Episode notes

I'm actually really curious how this differs from a traditional kind of corporate takeover or restructuring process. You can't come in and take a majority share because everyone would say, wow, it's VZ own,. So you get a preserve that decentralization and at the same time you got to contend with every single one who holds like $2 of sushi is going to have a say on the forum as well. How do you filter through all that noise? How do you push things through without compromising on, without some of those tools that you would have at your disposal in a traditional takeover? Stay tuned.

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:

Frameworks for short-term and long-term trading
GoldenChain’s thesis for $5.2 million investment into Sushi and their plans
