In their own words
“The SEC clearly focused on that other 95% that does have fake volumes it does have wash trading that does have price manipulations driven by a handful of people.”
Key points from the latest interview
- Arca applies traditional finance expertise in compliance, risk management, and fiduciary responsibility to digital asset investing rather than approaching crypto from a developer-first perspective.
- Arca operates two business channels: actively managed investment funds providing exposure to tokens and blockchain company equities, and blockchain-based infrastructure for traditional asset classes.
- The Arca Assets Fund uses a long-only, event-driven research approach investing in cryptocurrencies and tokens that create fundamental value as projects grow.
- Dorman believes the SEC was justified in rejecting the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF due to market immaturity and prevalence of fake volume and wash trading on ninety-five percent of exchanges.
- Arca's competitive advantage stems from its team of experienced financial professionals with backgrounds in investment banking, trading, and asset management across multiple traditional asset classes.
