TradFi meets DeFi: Integrating FIX and distributed ledgers

Led by global co-chair Digital Assets & Technology Committee, Vince Turcotte, 35 participants from the APAC digital assets ecosystem gathered at the 23^rd Asia Pacific Trading Summit on 22 May 2025, to discuss the evolution of the digital asset market since the invention of blockchain in 2009.

“Some accuse this market of evolving slowly, but it’s worth remembering that TCP.IP protocol was invented in 1974, yet most of us didn’t start using email until the early 1990s,” Turcotte, senior director at Solidus Labs, said. “Change has been coming steadily and the fact that we are all here today is testament to that.”
