There has been a lot of talk about the blockchain and how much of a game-changer it is going to be in the technology space, affecting all our lives, but what is it, and how do investors access those growth dynamics? In this podcast we chat to Blake Heimann, senior associate for quantitative research at WisdomTree about the current trends and innovations in blockchain.
On the podcast we discuss how WisdomTree accesses the blockchain sector in an ETF wrapper and what the long-term regulatory and scalability issues are for the sector. Also in focus are security issues and the importance of the management teams behind successful blockchain projects.
We also get a chance to chat about volatility risks within blockchain and the wider sectors which stand to benefit the most from blockchain disruption.
