In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, sits down with Paul Foley, CEO and Founder of CTEX Markets, to explore the fundamental question: where is the value in cryptocurrency? As a self-proclaimed crypto skeptic, Stewart challenges Paul to explain what gives digital assets like Bitcoin value and how they compare to traditional assets like gold and fiat currency.
Paul walks through the key characteristics that define value—scarcity, durability, safety, utility, and portability—and how they apply to crypto. He also discusses the evolving role of stablecoins, governance tokens, and NFTs, as well as the increasing institutional adoption of digital assets. With insights on liquidity, regulation, and market infrastructure, this conversation sheds light on how investors—especially those in insurance asset management—can navigate the world of cryptocurrency.
