Copper
May 6, 2019
It wasn’t just prices that shifted last week, executives seem to be on the move as well. Most notably, Coinbase’s CTO Balaji Srinivasan. It also appears Facebook has scooped a top crypto-academic, and Fidelity has been poaching at Barclays.
Copper’s CEO will be in New York speaking at the Digital Asset Summit on the 15th of May. He will be joined on the panel by Travis Kling of Ikigai Asset Management, John Nance of Dealbox, and Roy Niederhoffer of R.G. Niederhoffer. The panel will be moderated by Ryan Selkis of Messari. Please get in touch if you would like to arrange a meeting during New York Blockchain week.
