“Digital assets aren’t early anymore—they’re just unevenly understood.”
Fireside Chat: Prof. Cam Harvey × Prof. Sergey Khusnetdinov
Friday, Feb 6 | 5:30 PM | Fuqua School of Business
Digital assets are no longer a speculative side story - they are becoming part of financial infrastructure. The real question now isn’t if this space matures, but how, where, and who captures the value.
Join Prof. Campbell R. Harvey - Fuqua finance professor and former President of the American Finance Association and Sergey Khusnetdinov (Duke MBA ’13), GP at Ga^3in VC, for a candid fireside chat that cuts through prevailing narratives to examine what’s actually changing beneath the surface of digital asset markets.
The discussion will focus on:
Where institutional capital is quietly moving - and why
What most investors, operators, and students still misunderstand about risk, regulation, and market structure
How digital assets are entering traditional finance, firms, and portfolios in practical, decision-relevant ways
What the next 12–24 months could mean for careers, capital allocation, and real adoption
This session also sets the intellectual tone for the Duke Blockchain Conference (April 3–4) - Fuqua’s flagship student-run blockchain event bringing together builders, investors, and industry leaders for two days of talks, panels, and hands-on engagement.
