Our annual predictions for the year ahead are now available in a free webinar

Every year we publish our predictions for the year ahead in November. December always seems to be a rushed month and this year will be no exception since we will be holding closings for Blockchain Coinvestors and the Securitize coinvestment. Please contact us if you want to know about either at mlemerle@fifthera.com.

Last year our 2020 Blockchain Predictions turned out to be spot on with only one exception. Indeed, the world moved far beyond our expectations, and we will show just how much this is true in the upcoming webinar for the 2021 Blockchain Predictions (see below for webinar registration details).

Perhaps the most exciting development of 2020 was the very large increase in the number of Blockchain Unicorns — enterprises and projects with values in excess of $1 billion. The list is now at 31 (perhaps 32 if Bitmex survives). There is some art in deciding which of the Blockchain projects to add to this list, so join the webinars if you want to understand the logic for what we included and what we did not.
