The Importance of Training and Education in The Digital Assets Realm

At the annual FIX EMEA conference, hosted in London, Talos’s Head of Business Development EMEA, Audris Siow, discussed the challenges of digital asset adoption on a panel entitled: "Digital Assets – Boom or Bust?" She was joined by BPX co-CEO, Robert Barnes; Ownera Chief Operating Officer, Natasha Benson; R3 Capital Markets Strategy Lead, Goncalo Lima; and Zodia Markets co-founder, Nick Philpott.

As a member of the FIX Trading Community, a non-profit industry-driven standards body at the heart of global trading, Talos works together with peers and competitors to address industry challenges.

The work on tokenizing assets such as bonds or carbon credits was recognized as a significant development during the discussion. However, one panelist highlighted the ongoing issue around education. The lack of comprehension and familiarity with digital assets, particularly with those not working directly in the space is a setback that must be addressed to drive adoption.

While the panel agreed on the revolutionary potential of digital assets in the financial industry, it's clear that there is still more work to be done around infrastructure and stakeholder education.
