On Wednesday, March 8th, Rajeev Bamra, Head of DeFi & Digital Assets Strategy at Moody's Investors and Eric Jardine, Cybercrimes Research Lead at Chainalysis joined Shawn Douglass of Amberdata to discuss Trends in Digital Asset Data & Infrastructure, based on insights from The Block’s 2023 report: The State of Digital Assets Data and Infrastructure.
In this webinar, the panelists explored how data and infrastructure providers help industry participants extract value from digital asset data and how this will impact the future of digital asset adoption.

- There is continued institutional investment in both blockchain technology and the "financialization" of the internet. Traditional financial services firms are leaning into this global opportunity, building businesses around the digital asset class.
- While digital asset data is critical to institutions, it is also very difficult to access and work with due to the number of data sources, lack of standardization and complex processing needs. Access to trusted digital asset data infrastructure, that allows institutions to stick to their core business, is key to mass adoption.
