If you study bitcoins, I don't know why anyone is investing in cryptos. The technology behind it is all open source. Anyone at anytime can make 2 million Cubs-coins or Sox-coins. They are all worthless or less than a penny. There is no scarcity to them at all, and no intrinsic value. Warren Buffet says the same. The technology behind it may have value to banks, but as an investment it's worth less than a penny, it's just "printing" monopoly money.

With the infrastructure and talent Chicago has for these trades (remember, we have the lowest latency in the world which is why like 70% of the prop trading industry is located here) it's no surprise some of the serious crypto players are relocating here. Just another excellent demonstration of the irreplaceable geographic and talent advantages of being the great funnel of the center of the North American continent. All railroads lead to Chicago, therefore all fiber leads to Chicago.
