Anthony Bassili, President of Coinbase Asset Management, joins Proof of Talk 2026 to discuss how institutional investors are thinking about Bitcoin, tokenization, portfolio construction, and digital assets.
In this conversation, Anthony explains why Bitcoin can be viewed as pristine collateral, how BTC yield strategies work, why tokenization does not automatically create liquidity, and how Bitcoin and gold may fit together as stores of value in modern portfolios.
He also shares his views on regulation, wallet-based KYC, permissionless versus private blockchains, and why he believes institutions are still early in adopting crypto.
