Next Level 306: Where are Bitcoin and Digital Assets Going in Today’s Market and How to Make Volatility Your Friend with John Gillen

In this episode, the conversation dives deep into one of the most dynamic and often misunderstood sectors of modern finance: digital assets. Featuring insights from John Gillen, the discussion explores where Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are heading—and how investors can rethink volatility as an opportunity rather than a risk.

John Gillen brings a unique perspective shaped by his experience working on BlackRock Aladdin platform, one of the most powerful portfolio management systems in the world. His transition from traditional finance to co-founding TRU Capital reflects a broader shift happening across the financial landscape: institutional expertise is increasingly flowing into decentralized and digital markets.

A key theme of the episode is understanding volatility. In traditional markets, volatility is often seen as something to avoid. However, in crypto, volatility is the market. Gillen explains that instead of fearing price swings, investors can position themselves to benefit from them through disciplined strategies, long-term conviction, and a solid understanding of market cycles.
