Blockchains get a stage in everyday finance
By Michael Wutzke, , updated
Since January 1, 2026, I have been an editor at Business Punk magazine. Throughout 2026 I cover digital assets, blockchains and crypto investing there. The field is often either overhyped or dismissed. Here it gets a regular place next to the magazine’s business and innovation topics.
Business Punk is a business magazine and digital brand in the German-speaking countries. Its readers want to rethink and shape modern business. Next to the print magazine there are the website, a newsletter, a podcast and a community.
From March 2026, Business Punk publishes a finance and investment special four times a year: Anlage Punk, in English Investment Punk, under the motto “WORK HARD. PLAY HARD. INVEST SMART.” It covers investment ideas from stocks and startups to new investment formats. It appears as a section within Business Punk issues and as a standalone magazine.
Digital assets, blockchains and crypto arrived in financial services long ago, but the public debate lags behind. Between regulation, infrastructure, new market models and real use cases, the language is often missing that takes expertise seriously and stays readable.
That is where my role comes in. In Anlage Punk I write regularly about digital assets, blockchains and crypto in financial services: what becomes relevant in banks, asset management, markets and infrastructure providers, and what everyone should understand about it.
The goal is fewer buzzwords and more context, so that readers ask better questions and make better decisions, with blockchains placed where the topic belongs: in a financial context.
Anlage Punk has been in stores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland since March 2026, and online at business-punk.com. The release party was on April 2, 2026 in Berlin, with Business Punk publisher Oliver Stock and David Kurz of Bitvavo.
