On this episode, Jesse sits down with Teddy Fusaro, President of Bitwise Asset Management, to discuss his career in ETFs, crypto asset management, and why relationship capital still matters in an increasingly electronic and digital world. The conversation explores Teddy’s transition from Operations into ETF portfolio management, what it was like navigating the rise and scrutiny of leveraged ETFs following the Global Financial Crisis, and how he helped scale Bitwise from an early-stage crypto startup into one of the largest crypto ETF issuers in the market today. Jesse and Teddy also dive into startup leadership, Bitcoin ETF competition, tokenization, market structure, and where traditional finance still gets things right.The opinions expressed in this episode are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of OneChronos or its affiliates.
