Blockchain

Seems like I’m missing out on a good time in Miami based on the tweets. Admittedly I’ve got a bit of FOMO as it sounds like fun. I do feel like I’d be a bit out of place down there. While my friends probably would call me a crypto bro, I do believe I’m pretty far away from the typical crypto junky. I’ll have to make my way to one of these events soon and find out for myself.

Speaking of crypto…. I’ve written quite a bit on the private markets. Given the current market environment and geopolitical events, it’s probably no surprise that investments in startups are down this year.

One area that hasn’t slowed down is crypto. We’re seeing a large number of blockchain companies raising money at high valuations. There were a few that announced rounds in the past few weeks and rumblings are that there are quite a few more who will be announcing massive rounds at high valuations soon.

Even Jamie Dimon seems to have a bullish sentiment on the blockchain.

We’ve been doing a lot more deals in blockchain companies and we expect to continue to do more in the coming weeks.
