LIVE- All Things Crypto with Jan van Eck
20 August 2021
This week, I speak with our CEO, Jan van Eck about how cryptocurrency is disrupting financial services and different ways investors can take advantage of that trend. We recorded this episode as a special live event and I also asked Jan questions that attendees were sending in. It’s a little longer than normal, but it was a great, no-holds barred discussion.
Jan and I speak about his introduction to cryptocurrency and what convinced him to go all in, positioning his multi-billion asset management firm to be a leader in the space. Listen for the three areas he sees disruption taking place within financial services, DeFi, stable coins and his thoughts on the latest changes to Ethereum. We also cover some of the latest headline issues, like hacks and regulatory policies.
It’s a fairly wide ranging discussion, I hope you enjoy it.
