Summary:

Now On Demand.

Crypto has gone mainstream. According to new survey data, the percentage of financial advisors allocating to crypto assets like bitcoin has jumped 50% in the past year and is set to double in the year ahead. But with prices up more than 300% in the past 12 months, many are wondering if they’ve missed the boat.

In this special, one-hour webcast, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and crypto research David Lawant — co-authors of the CFA Institute’s recently published “Guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies” — join RIA Database to examine the latest bull run in crypto and discuss where things go from here. Among the topics that will be covered:

  • Crossing the Chasm: Why the recent bull move is different from previous bull markets
  • Data-Driven Analysis: What on-chain data tells us about the drivers of today’s crypto market
  • A Look Ahead: An examination of the key catalysts and risks in 2021 and beyond
