Strategy Description

In addition to providing the foundation for digital money, public blockchains are powering novel forms of coordination across finance and the internet. By decentralizing institutions with open-source software, public blockchains minimize the need to trust centralized authorities. In finance, cryptoassets issued on public blockchains are facilitating the coordination of financial services and contracts outside the purview of traditional financial institutions. On the internet, cryptoassets issued on public blockchains are facilitating the coordination of identity, reputation, and data outside the purview of traditional media conglomerates and big tech. These forms of coordination are likely to impact all asset classes. Just as the internet turned information into packets online, we believe public blockchains are likely to turn all assets into transactions on-chain.
