Introduction
In this edition of The Value Exchange – a series dedicated to bringing you in-depth insights from the Fidelity Digital AssetsSM research team and guests from across the industry – Jack Neureuter, Research Analyst at Fidelity Digital Assets, sits down with special guest, Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, to explore the question, “how can you value an asset with no cash flows or industrial use case?” Digging into key themes from Jack’s recent report, “Valuing Bitcoin: Modeling the price of bitcoin as a monetary asset through market forces,” Jack and Jurrien unravel how one may use their understanding of bitcoin’s unique characteristics to help inform valuation, and the current macro environment and what that may mean for the future of bitcoin and digital assets.
