The TL;DR Live: State Of Blockchain

  • November 2, 2021
  • November 2, 2021

Blockchain is not only here to stay – it’s here to disrupt. Or maybe DISRUPT. Because its impact isn’t going to just be felt in crypto, insurance, and banking – it could drastically alter dozens and dozens of other industries as well (at least 58 of them by our count).

Our Senior Intelligence Analyst Chris Bendtsen and Co-founder & GM of Blockdata Jonathan Knegtel, as talk you through the state of blockchain report for Q3 and explain this past quarter’s record high funding, why it’s 1029% YoY with $2B VC funding for crypto exchanges alone – plus DeFI deals, NFT growth (and what’s expected), Coinbase, custody and wallet providers, newborn unicorns, and so much more. 

Oh, and any questions you have? Ask away.
