Summary:

Attitudes toward bitcoin are changing fast. And, whether or not you’re ready to invest on behalf of your clients, it’s impossible to ignore bitcoin’s incredible run. Steve Kurz, Partner and Head of Asset Management at Galaxy Digital, is one of the few experts on bitcoin who comes from a traditional finance background. As we look to the new year, Steve intends to share his thoughts on:

  • Recent adoption by PayPal, Square, and MicroStrategy pushing bitcoin into the mainstream
  • The macro landscape for bitcoin in 2021
  • The best ways to access bitcoin exposure for your clients’ portfolios

Steve will also discuss how rapidly attitudes toward this emerging asset class are changing. He’ll unpack recent comments by major investors who see big upside in bitcoin, including Bill Miller, Paul Tudor Jones, and Stanley Druckenmiller. And he’ll reveal some surprising findings from a research study Galaxy Fund Management recently conducted with Bloomberg on high-net-worth individuals’ attitudes toward cryptocurrencies—and their expectations of financial advisors in this context. The session should be thought provoking, informative, and leave you feeling more confident discussing bitcoin’s 2021 prospects with your clients.
