Highlights
One of the under-appreciated roadblocks to institutional adoption has been career risk. Almost no one in TradFi post 2022 was willing to raise their hands to drive the crypto effort internally. I think in 2025, this dynamic completely turns around. Crypto will become, (as it was in 2021 and 2022) a way to accelerate your career at firms that feel under-exposed to the space.
If there were any doubts before the election, NYC is now unquestionably the global crypto HQ. It’s not even close anymore.
