Accessing the Blockchain with Floating Point Group

David Micley of Floating Point Group shares how FPG is helping institutions—both crypto-native and traditional—safely enter and navigate digital asset markets. He outlines his journey from MIT and Bridgewater Associates to joining FPG, where his connection with founder John Peurifoy and MIT’s Delta V accelerator played a pivotal role. The discussion touches on how proactive networking and curiosity often outweigh direct blockchain experience for those looking to break into the space. Students are encouraged to reach out, build relationships, and explore opportunities even without formal openings—because in crypto, hustle goes a long way.

The conversation also explores how FPG assists hedge funds and asset managers in managing crypto exposure, including NFTs, yield strategies, and regulatory navigation. David notes that interest from traditional finance is accelerating, and that FPG is committed to helping clients adapt to the evolving digital asset ecosystem. While regulatory clarity remains a hurdle, it hasn’t slowed demand. The key to succeeding in crypto? Be proactive, stay curious, and recognize the value of getting in early to help shape the future of finance.
