Discover the world of alternative investments and how they can potentially boost your portfolio’s performance. Historically, these investments were the domain of institutional investors, who for years have used them to lower risk without sacrificing returns, thanks to low return correlations with traditional assets. Now, explore the growing accessibility of alternative investment return exposures available to everyone. From hedge funds and real assets to private equity and beyond, learn how these previously exclusive strategies are becoming increasingly available.

This episode discusses three sources offering a comprehensive overview of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs). They explain this emerging concept where blockchain technology is used to incentivize individuals to build and operate real-world infrastructure. DePINs are transforming sectors like telecommunications (Helium), energy grids (Powerledger), and cloud computing (Render Network) by crowdsourcing resources like storage, connectivity, and GPU power, thus moving ownership away from centralized corporations. This decentralized approach leverages cryptocurrency tokens and smart contracts to create a "flywheel" effect that rewards contributors, ensures transparency, and potentially makes services more resilient and cost-effective. However, the sources also acknowledge challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, scalability issues, and the volatility of token incentives, which network builders must address for widespread adoption.
