| | Fellow Investor,
With Coinbase breaking records in the largest direct listing ever, more investors are looking for exposure to crypto through stocks and exchange-traded products. However, many people do not realize that there are several other publicly traded companies that offer direct and indirect exposure to this exciting and emerging asset class.
These include bitcoin miners, brokerage firms, wallets and derivatives providers, as well as exchange-traded products that track the value of an underlying crypto asset such as bitcoin, ether, litecoin and many DeFi assets.
With Coinbase now public, many of these firms and products are likely to receive increased interest from investors and analysts alike who are looking for ways to generate additional returns for their portfolio.
Join Forbes crypto expert Steven Ehrlich and an all-star panel of executives from Grayscale Investments, Marathon Patent Group and Voyager Digital Ltd. on Thursday, April 29th at 2PM EST where they'll discuss: - How their stocks and ETPs have performed during the ongoing bull market
- How these securities correlate with underlying crypto assets
- Ways that they try to minimize risk associated with the high volatility of crypto markets
- Proper ways to value and analyze these products and companies from an investment perspective
- Expectations for 2021 and beyond for crypto and their companies
At the end of the webcast there will be a live Q&A session. To submit your questions ahead of time, click here.
