Why is blockchain interesting? I was always eager to learn about new technologies and the potential that they might have for other industries. It is fascinating to witness how the blockchain ecosystem influences the financial industry and drives changes, as well as the financial sector tries to adapt to new realities. Particularly interested in Digital Custody Solutions as investors increase the share of digital assets in their portfolios and what will be the shape of it.
