DRW’s Don Wilson Says 24/7 Collateral Mobility and Tokenization Are Essential for Market Evolution

LONDON, UK—(JLN)—June 27, 2025—The future of financial markets hinges on real-time collateral movement and native tokenization, according to Don Wilson, founder and CEO of DRW. Speaking at FIA IDX in London, Wilson emphasized that as markets shift to 24/7 trading, the ability to move collateral and variation margin instantly is “essential” to avoid injecting “significant additional risk into the financial system.” He warned, “If you move to 24/7 markets and you can’t move collateral or variation margin 24/7 and instantaneously, you inject significant additional risk into the financial system. So I think that it’s essential and it needs to go hand-in-hand with that evolution.”

Vermiculus Founder Nils-Robert Persson Sees New Era for Matching Engines Post-Lehman

LONDON, UK—(JLN)—June 29, 2025—Vermiculus Chairman and Founder Nils-Robert Persson says the company is taking a fresh approach to matching engine technology, starting from scratch while leveraging decades of industry knowledge. “If we now went out to look at Vermiculus, we are starting from scratch. We have all the knowledge, but we can start from scratch, and I think the company that is very similar, that is Tesla. Tesla had a lot of good people who had been designing cars for a long time, but they could start from scratch doing something totally different, and that is what we are doing,” Persson said in an interview with John Lothian News at FIA IDX in London.
