Apple’s Spring event…
The rumors are flying as Apple takes center stage this week with their first event of 2021. Reports suggest it will be iPad-focused and we may see the launch of AirTags, Apple's version of tracking tiles that will be integrated with the Find My App. These tiles will be attached to personal possessions like keys and wallets which are easily misplaced. While AirTags offer a new revenue stream, they also showcase the brand’s ability to continue to evolve and create new product lines, which is very appealing from an investment standpoint. Watch the event live at the link above to learn more! Who knows, maybe we’ll get a mystery reveal!
Central Banks are warming up to Crypto - CBDc
A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) uses an electronic record or digital token to represent the virtual form of a fiat currency of a particular nation (or region). Unlike Bitcoin which is decentralized, a CBDC is centralized; it is issued and regulated by the competent monetary authority of the country. No National Central Bank has officially launched its own digital currency, but at least 80% of Central Banks are researching this technology.

Even More Crypto Adoption
Cryptocurrency adoption continues to accelerate and this past week was a wild one. We saw the industry set new highs followed by a massive sell-off. Don’t let short term hysteria or volatility cloud the reality: Cryptocurrency is here to stay. Following the successful Coinbase IPO, we expect a number of companies like BlockFi & Gemini to explore this option and follow suit later this year.
