Learn how digital asset technologies can be applied to the regulated, traditional finance industry for improved performance and returns

In From Hoodies to Suits: Innovating Digital Assets for Traditional Finance, leading finance innovator Annelise Osborne bridges the gap between the "hoodies" who invented the technology behind digital assets and the "suits" who run traditional financial markets, in an entertaining and insightful guide for implementing digital assets in an institutional environment.

You'll discover the possibilities unlocked by new technological advancements, including alternative investments, new marketplaces, interoperability between counterparties, and even improved forms of diversification. You'll also find:

  • Discussions of why the adoption of digital assets is so critical for the future of finance and the ways the industry's largest players are implementing its technologies and concepts now

  • Strategies for implementing institutional digital assets to realize opportunities in private markets, funds, debt, repo, alternative assets and back office transactions in this evolving and dynamic financial environment

A fascinating new take on the future of finance, From Hoodies to Suits is a must-read guide for aspiring and practicing finance professionals, technology developers, fintech participants, and anyone else with an interest in the intersection of finance and technology.

When Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress, the tech titan traded his hoodie for a suit. This place between "hoodies" and "suits" is exactly where the digital assets industry is right now. Hoodie-wearing entrepreneurs developed blockchain and created an alternative to banking and finance. Now it's time for the "suits" of Wall Street and Main Street to innovate digital assets for traditional, regulated financial markets.

In From Hoodies to Suits: Innovating Digital Assets For Traditional Finance, finance innovation leader Annelise Osborne delivers an educational and entertaining guidebook for finance professionals, traders, asset managers, investment bankers, and corporate treasurers to apply digital asset technology to the traditional finance system. Osborne makes a compelling case for understanding, innovating, and adapting to the inevitable technology changes already in progress in finance.

From Hoodies to Suits bridges the gap between the "hoodies" and the "suits" to shift the focus from cryptocurrencies to payments, investments and regulations. It explains the possibilities unlocked by these technological advancements, including alternative investment opportunities, new marketplaces, interoperability between counterparties, and new forms of diversification.

You'll explore the past, present, and future of the digital asset industry, including its most promising platforms and technologies--and its most spectacular flameouts and missteps--as you firm up your understanding of the innovations that are poised to remake the regulated finance industry from the ground up.

From Hoodies to Suits gives you a firsthand look at how the next decade (and beyond) may very well play out. It's a must-read resource for traders, investors, portfolio managers, bankers, asset managers, corporate executives, and other finance professionals.
