​In light of today’s global economic environment, digital assets (specifically Bitcoin) have been put to the ultimate test. In the United States alone, we have witnessed the perfect storm of a highly disconnected stock market, growing debt on the Federal balance sheet, and declining US Treasury bond yields.

On the global stage, while debt bubbles are leading to massive currency devaluations and equity markets are seeing a rush of new liquidity, the digital assets space has experienced a rapid growth in transaction rates, increased institutional interest, a spike in decentralized finance and the emergence of more central bank digital currencies. On July 22, 2020 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) adjusted U.S. banking regulations to allow nationally chartered banks in the United States to provide custody services for Cryptocurrencies paving the way for legitimization of digital assets within the United States.  

So why is bitcoin a shining light and the best performing asset despite economic instability? This presentation will explore why Bitcoin and digital assets are soon to become one of the dominant asset classes in today’s financial crisis and how decentralized finance can transform a global crisis into an impactful resource both for retail and institutional investors.

Joshua Finkleman, Managing Partner of BXE Capital, will dive into the macro-economic environment to demonstrate how digital assets have fared as compared to traditional assets. He will then share a glimpse into the bright future for what’s next in cryptocurrencies, as a result.
