In this episode of FTSE Russell Convenes, Ryan Sullivan speaks with Russell Barlow, CEO of 21Shares, and Stephen Coltman, VP and Head of Macro at 21Shares, about the evolution of digital assets and their growing role in investment portfolios.

The conversation explores how increased regulatory clarity, market maturity and product innovation are helping drive broader adoption of digital assets. The speakers also discuss the potential of tokenization, the importance of investor education, and why digital assets are increasingly being considered alongside traditional asset classes as part of long-term portfolio construction.
