Cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin, are revolutionizing the global economy and promising a decentralized future. The Crypto Academy, a collaboration between ET Markets and Mudrex, aims to unravel the complexities of the crypto universe. In its first episode, two industry experts, Ajeet Khurana and Edul Patel, delve into the world of cryptocurrencies and investments during a bull run.
Journeys into the Crypto Realm
Ajeet Khurana’s interest in new financial instruments dates back to the late ’80s.
