Fresh from one of crypto's largest conferences, Consensus 2025 in Toronto, we're highlighting two exhibitors that caught our attention.
Jon Brown looks at Kula, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) focused on social good. He explores how Kula is using blockchain to tokenize real-world assets like water and timber to empower local communities. Then, Trevor Abes makes the case for Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), arguing that the world's largest publicly-traded crypto exchange is an undervalued and de-risked "picks and shovels" play on the entire digital asset industry.
This Episode's Picks:
- Kula (DAO): A decentralized autonomous organization using blockchain technology to tokenize real-world assets and drive positive social and environmental change through community ownership.
- Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN): The leading publicly-traded crypto exchange, presenting an investment opportunity based on its profitability, market leadership, and a stock price trading below its IPO level.
Topics Discussed:
- Highlights from the Consensus 2025 crypto conference.
- What is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)?
- The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).
- Social impact and ESG investing in the blockchain space.
- The "picks and shovels" strategy for investing in crypto.
