CMBI Total Market Update: Focus CMBITM

State of the Market | September 24-30, 2026

Your dose of regulatory moves, missteps and melodrama, ensuring you’re always informed (and occasionally amused) by what global watchdogs are up to.

Institutional digital asset activity now extends beyond cryptocurrencies to stablecoins, tokenised deposits, funds and conventional securities represented digitally. Banks, asset managers and investment platforms entering these markets need systems that connect these new investment products with familiar trading, risk and settlement processes. Talos provides technology and data for institutional digital asset trading and portfolio management. Its platform connects clients with their chosen venues and service providers for price discovery, execution, risk, treasury and settlement. It operates behind the scenes empowering banks, brokerages and asset managers to add digital assets to their offerings without having to rebuild their existing platforms. Samar Sen, Senior Vice President and Head of International Markets at Talos, expects more institutions to enter the sector as investment providers continue to add support for new digital assets and markets move towards longer trading hours. For private wealth firms, he believes the question is whether digital assets can be incorporated into the wider client relationship rather than being left on a separate platform or worse, unsupported and forcing clients to work with unproven external providers.
