April 8, 2019
At a five month high, the crypto market capitalisation has reached $185bn, showing a slow and steady increase since the start of the year.
On April 16th Copper will be co-hosting an event with Eversheds-Sutherland in London. It will examine hedge funds and crypto-assets, with panelists from EisnerAmpner, Hedgeguard, Eversheds, and Copper. Space is very limited, so if you would like to attend please let us know.
Copper will also be speaking at the Digital Asset Summit in New York on the 15th of May. More details to follow, but we will have some VIP passes to give away to those interested.
