The latest innovations in digital finance could greatly help the struggling pot industry, according to the leader of a specialty finance company.
At first glance, the 21st-century businesses of cryptocurrency and legalized marijuana seem incompatible. A closer look reveals a potentially more harmonious picture, however.

It's also because blockchain technology holds the promise of streamlining the operations and accounting of an industry where such efforts can be complex.
