3. But traditional investment firms are
still missing it
Traditional finance is interested in digital assets and
decentralized finance but unsure on how to proceed…
There is a lack of understanding around this new asset class:
“Cryptocurrencies are a vehicle with great prospects”
“The real uncertainty is not about risk but about missing
opportunities”

4. A massive digital assets’ data
opportunity

opportunity
Why crypto-assets are different from traditional finance?
For the first time in financial history, all transactions involving
investment or usage activities on digital assets are written in a
public ledger, bringing an embedded auditability and
transparency by design:
✓ It creates a unique analytic opportunity, as it’s now possible to
precisely monitor the activity of every user and investor in this
space.
✓ This type of analytics is impossible to perform on traditional
finance infrastructure, as this type of ledger simply doesn’t exist
there.
✓ Existing financial institutions have neither the knowledge nor
the tools to efficiently exploit digital assets data and generate
investment performance.
