What to listen for
- Why GSX originally wanted to create an institutional-grade digital asset exchange and ended up building a digital securities exchange in Estonia.
- Why a digital securities market in Europe would address the liquidity challenges in smaller securities markets like SMEs and private equity offerings to accredited investors.
- Why regulators are only just catching up to the digital asset revolution and how innovation could make T-instant settlement a reality.
- Why Nick thinks that there will be several parallel universes between the world of DeFi, decentralized exchanges and the traditional T-plus-two day traditional settlement networks in banking today.
- How regulators looking at digital assets in Gibraltar, across Europe and in Asia encourage innovation through principle-based regulation that works.
- Why GSX is building a European securities exchange in Estonia and why this is not because of ‘Brexit’ but an opportunity to build on it.
- Why regulations within jurisdictions can either promote innovation in digital assets or stifle it and why this matter post-Brexit and passporting.
