DRW

#DRWVC is proud to have been an early investor in @DatabentoHQ. Today, Databento announced its $97M Series B led by NEA—an important milestone for a company tackling one of capital markets' longstanding infrastructure challenges. For decades, accessing market data has meant navigating legacy systems, lengthy onboarding, and operational complexity. Databento has taken a fundamentally different approach, making institutional-grade market data easier to access, integrate, and use through modern APIs. That approach has enabled Databento to serve a broad range of customers, from student trading competitions to many of the world's leading financial institutions. We're excited to continue supporting Christina Qi and the Databento team as they build the next generation of market data infrastructure. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

A great morning at @Cboe ! We were honored to ring the opening bell and mark another milestone in our longstanding relationship with Cboe. Special shoutout to the DRW floor traders who joined us on stage—there was no better group to share the moment with.

As global regulators including the @SECGov, @CFTC and @bankofengland explore how best to enable markets to benefit from the efficiencies moving on-chain, blockchain selection is an underrated but critical choice. Some designs embed front-running and information leakage directly into execution. Others are designed to prevent it. My latest in the @FT on why these choices matter for investors and capital markets: ft.com/content/2fdbb1…

At DRW, community investment means more than giving back. It means expanding opportunity.

DRW Founder and CEO @donwilsonjr joined fellow industry leaders at the SEC-CFTC Joint Roundtable this week to discuss how regulators can work together more effectively to meet the demands of today’s financial markets. The discussion focused on critical issues including portfolio margining, the tokenization of securities and collateral, and how a bifurcated U.S. regulatory structure should evolve as innovation increasingly blurs jurisdictional boundaries. At DRW, we believe a modern, efficient, and harmonized regulatory framework is essential to fostering responsible innovation, strengthening markets, and ensuring the United States remains a global leader in finance. As Don noted: “It’s an exciting time to be alive. It’s important that we position the United States to take advantage of all of these technological innovations and bring them to the market here. And, if we approach these innovations in a thoughtful way, we have a ton of opportunity to lead the world.” Watch the recording of the roundtable: lnkd.in/gD4599cm
