As the market for cryptocurrencies has increased in size and liquidity, investing in the crypto market has become feasible for even the largest institutional investors.

Or has the recent collapse of the stablecoin UST and the associated crypto token LUNA tempered interest? Institutional Investors are revisiting the properties of Crypto for inclusion in their portfolios, using future Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's) as a benchmark. And assessing the wider opportunities that distributed ledger, smart contracts and tokenisation presents.
