It’s easy to read about institutional investment in crypto, but what’s it like to live it? For episode seven of CopperCasts we speak with Michael Hall, the co-founder and CIO of Nickel Digital. One of the most successful crypto hedge funds going.
In this short Show & Tell segment, Michael gave us a sneak peak of their recently launched Digital Factors Fund, a multi-strategy approach for startup funds that leverages the infrastructure and relationships that Nickel has already built up and which smaller funds wouldn't otherwise be able to afford on their own.
In our longer conversation, we delve a little deeper into some of the challenges startup funds face in this space. We explore the similarities between institutional crypto now and the world of hedge funds in the 1990s. We talk regulations, CBDCs, Libra, automation, corporate treasury reserve assets, DeFi, and how you respond to a pandemic. We left no crypto stone unturned!
