Panel 1｜Multi-Asset Trading & Market Convergence
Liquidity 2026 | LTP Hong Kong Panel Highlights
Our first panel "Multi-Asset Trading & Market Convergence" was really engaging and interesting 👏
Some of the quotes we got from our speakers were fire! 🔥
At the start of the panel, John Cahill, COO of Galaxy, said "The crypto industry itself has undergone a fundamental transformation. Over the past several years, the industry’s primary focus has been on three main areas: promoting the widespread adoption of technology, introducing regulations to establish credibility, and providing ongoing education for regulators and policymakers. This has been a long and arduous process."
On that, Stephan Lutz, BitMEX CEO said "Crypto assets have evolved from a speculative subject to a category of assets that has officially entered the portfolio building framework. Five years ago, this was almost unthinkable, but today, if a CIO still completely ignores crypto assets, it no longer seems realistic.". What are you thoughts on that?
While talking about the system, we had Tom Higgins, Gold-i Founder and CEO, stating that "The premise of a system design should not be 'hope it won't go wrong', but rather the assumption that it will certainly go wrong and the way in which it will be devised in advance. A truly reliable system is one that functions properly even when failure occurs."
On the other hand, Kok Chong Lam, Head of Foreign Exchange and Crypto Derivatives, SGX Group, mentioned that "Institution clients don't want to learn a new set of trading logic, they just want to trade one more asset class under the old framework.", as for "The same API, the same governance, the same risk management, is a prerequisite for institutions to enter the crypto market." - is this something you align with?
Finally, Adrian Tan, Head of VIP & Institutional Sales, Binance, commented that "It is impossible to build a truly interoperable global market if each jurisdiction insists on its own version. What users really want is a global transfer of assets at the click of a button."
Let us know your thoughts on the first panel in the comments of course. We want to know what you think!
