A new player in the cryptocurrency space is looking to build an ecosystem around this emerging market. Hodl.vc Founder and Managing Partner Ivan Soto-Wright explains how this company is tapping into the luxury market.

Moon Assets launched in December 2017 as an e-commerce platform that enables people to buy luxury cars through Bitcoin. "For us it was an experiment and it turned into much more," said Soto-Wright.
