• Structural issues: challenges crypto presents to the payments and brokerage industries;
• Scaling blockchain to new asset classes: the future of the digital ledger;
• Expanding alternatives for buying, selling, and holding digital currencies;
• Platforms as an alternative investment to direct ownership of digital currencies;
• Factors influencing price fluctuations, including the Elon Musk factor; and
