Here at CF Benchmarks, we don’t downplay the fact that crypto is potentially one of the riskiest asset classes around.
Thinking more constructively though, how can those risks be managed?
In fact, because digital assets are so dissimilar to traditional assets in terms of technological complexity, their mode of economic participation and more, how do we even determine and measure such risks?
These are the kinds of questions our guest on the latest episode of CFB Talks Digital Assets, Kyle Downey, has been grappling with for years.
Kyle is co-founder and CEO of crypto risk analytics firm Cloudwall, and he quickly realised that although risk management is fundamental to any market activity, Cloudwall finds itself among the relatively few companies researching and constructing cogent models to credibly address that need.
We think the stimulating conversation between Kyle, Gabe Selby, CFA and Ken Odeluga, will be as educational for you as it was for us.
