Happy new year!  Welcome to our Summer Series of archive blogs from the past year.  We'll be featuring our favourite shows from 2024 until we return in Feb'2025.  Thanks for watching/listening.
What do crypto investors look like, and do they invest differently to the rest of the market?  What challenges does the Advice Industry face in trying to service this asset class?  This week we welcome Anna Vennonen, Research Consultant from Coredata to discuss some research conducted in the area of Cryptocurrency and how the Australian Advice Industry is or is not keeping pace with this fast evolving space.  The results are fascinating, if not at times, somewhat disturbing.  It's not all about the coin and the underpinning blockchain that dominates discussions and as always, its caveat emptor, buyer beware.
Anna has also asked us to append a few links that will be of interest to viewers/listeners, so here you go!
