Herbie Skeete, Managing Director, Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index said:
"As we end this year and look forward to the next, we may be on the verge of the beginning of a quiet revolution in the world of exchanges. Exchanges are about to retool around integrated trading, settlement and custody infrastructure based on blockchain technology. As a result, financial markets are transforming themselves in front of our eyes. In Animal Farm, "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.", thus it will be for exchanges trading conventional and digital assets. The revolution will likely not be televised, but it will certainly be digitised."
