Increasing market size with billions of dollars

Different from traditional finance, blockchain and digital assets have the potential to democratise access to the financial market, increasing transparency and efficiency and lowering costs. Since they are really different from traditional sectors, one can’t just learn it by chance, but need to learn and experience it.
