Ethereum is the second largest crypto asset behind Bitcoin, but beneath the surface, it’s shockingly different. The Ethereum blockchain functions like an “app store” for crypto, hosting thousands of applications with millions of daily active users. And unlike many other crypto assets, Ethereum produces revenues in the billions of dollars each year, which makes it an interesting asset to value. This combination of factors is capturing the attention of Wall Street. In this webinar, Bitwise Senior Research Analyst Ryan Rasmussen and CIO, Matt Hougan will dive into the key topics financial advisors need to know about Ethereum, one of the world’s most compelling crypto assets.

Topics include:

What is Ethereum?
Five Ethereum-based applications that could change the world.
How to value Ethereum.
Building a crypto investment sleeve with Ethereum.
