From TradFi to DeFi, an Inside Look at a Crypto Investment Firm

Thejas Nalval, co-founder and chief information officer of Parataxis Capital, joins today’s episode of “On Purpose” with host Tyrone Ross. Nalval explains his journey from equity trading at Goldman Sachs (GS) to founding an investment firm focused solely on the digital asset sector.

After seeing crypto’s strong performance this quarter compared with traditional assets, Nalval believes more institutional investors might be enticed to add crypto to their portfolios in the coming months. How should advisers and investment managers prepare for this incoming institutional wave?
