Digitally native assets are not just about new financial instruments. They will also revolutionise all existing traditional financial markets in time too. They bring huge efficiencies from activities happening ‘on chain', which will particularly benefit the post-trade space. Perhaps we don't fit into some people's view of what blockchain could be, but we would argue that regulation is there for a reason, and we want to embrace the technology but do it within the regulation, and we think it moves forward faster once you do that. There's probably never been a time, certainly in my lifetime, where SMEs need more access to capital than ever, so actually perhaps the timing of our venue couldn't be better.
