Blockchain networks are a new type of protocol, adding a verification and settlement layer to the internet which will allow seamless and secure transactions between parties. Blockchain networks unlock a true online, decentralised and frictionless global economy boosted by major cost efficiencies to be realised in several industry verticals: the Internet of Value. The chief investment officer of an innovative blockchain venture fund discusses the potential size of the blockchain economy – industries which are already starting to use blockchain protocols as well as those which could be disrupted by blockchain-driven infrastructure and the applications built on top of it. Theta Capital Management provides examples of added value already generated by certain blockchain protocols as well as routes for investors to get exposed to the emerging internet of value, offering a once-in-a generation investment opportunity.
