Behind the Hype podcast: A whistlestop tour of the blockchain ecosystem

ETF podcast

Our ‘Behind the Hype’ podcast series attempts to take a deeper view on topics that are in the headlines to provide investors with a more nuanced view and meaningful conversation. In this first episode, we speak to blockchain experts Keith Bear and Michel Rauchs, both from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.

Keith and Michel share their views on the latest blockchain ecosystem developments, separating hype from meaningful events, and providing a deeper view on a variety of blockchain related topics, such as Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), cryptocurrencies, energy usage by blockchain technologies, governance, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), among others.
