Aaron Kennon, CEO of Clear Harbor Asset Management, sat down with Bloomberg to chat about two big trends shaking up the economy: the growing investor frenzy around crypto and blockchain, and how AI might reshape everything from jobs to markets. He also shared his take on where things are headed for the rest of the year—whether investors should brace for turbulence or ride the wave.
Editor’s Note: Crypto and AI aren’t just buzzwords—they’re real forces driving investment and economic shifts right now. Kennon’s insights matter because they give a snapshot of how Wall Street is thinking about these technologies, which could trickle down to everything from your 401(k) to the apps you use daily. Whether you’re an investor or just curious about the future, this conversation highlights the big bets (and risks) shaping the economy.
