Corporate Chains Are Winning

Matthew Sigel breaks down why the AI buildout looks more like the 19th-century railroad boom than a bubble about to pop, comparing capital scale, financing structure, and multi-year purchase order backlogs.

Matthew Sigel is the Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck and Portfolio Manager of the VanEck Onchain Economy ETF (NODE), one of the most prominent actively managed funds focused on digital assets equities and infrastructure.
