#12: Ways to participate in the blockchain megatrend with Mike Taormina and Stefan Edelman

Aliya Das Gupta

In a turbulent market environment, it seems wise to revisit the fundamentals. Thinking about investing in crypto is already challenging during exciting bull markets - and when we see  multiple black swan events play out, things get a lot harder. 
So, it made sense to sit down with Mike Taormina from Indexcoop and Stefan Edelman from Sygnum Bank, to look at different ways the megatrend can be assessed  - and consider simplified ways to develop broad exposure. We looked at questions like:

  1. What megatrends or sectors do you see within crypto? 
  2. Considering DeFi as one of the biggest trends, where do you see the opportunities for investors?  
  3. How do you approach the building of an index?
  4. How can an investor get exposure to different sectors? Active vs. Passive; Diversified solutions vs. Single token selection
  5. How did the both of you approach building a diversified portfolio across crypto?
