However, it is still unclear how bullish William is towards crypto and blockchain companies as she didn’t reveal anything about BTC, or other aspects of the crypto ecosystem.

Nevertheless, her website mentioned former asset manager at JP Morgan, Alison Rapaport as the vice president. Rapaport with this position will undertake the fund’s portfolio and new investments.
