83. Beyond the hype: Uncovering the real value of digital asset technology
Everyone is talking about how cryptocurrencies have come roaring back this year, but are we missing an even bigger story in the digital asset universe? Beyond the buzz of Bored Apes and Bitcoin, tokenization and blockchain technology has the potential to radically transform traditional finance infrastructure, according to Annalise Osborne, the Chief Business Officer at Kadena, and soon-to-be author.
Her book ‘From Hoodies to Suits: Innovating Digital Assets for Traditional Finance’ – out 12 June – lays out how the digital asset and TradFi constituents can join forces to maximise the value of this innovative technology. The Long-Short co-hosts Tom Kehoe and Drew Nicol welcomed Annalise into the studio to find out more.

80. From start-up to standout: A guide for emerging managers
Industry commentators have suggested that as much as 95% of the hedge fund industry's total assets are in the hands of a few super asset managers, leaving very little to be invested in early-stage firms. It only gets trickier for start-ups with the rising barrier to entry as regulatory and operational costs continue to mount.
Thankfully, there is help on hand as Chris Winiarz, CIO of Stable, a multi-billion-dollar investment firm dedicated to helping ambitious fund founders, joins Tom Kehoe and Drew Nicol to offer invaluable guidance to emerging managers aiming to navigate this competitive landscape.
