The electronification debate in FX swaps has swung firmly to our talking points, and when a market data behemoth like LSEG starts moving on price, you know the argument has cut through. FXswapX is automating this voice-brokered holdout that's still trading like it's 1989. Our latest piece in e-Forex sets out how. Thanks as ever to Charles for including us. https://lnkd.in/eNs6jP5W
Taking things from voice to electronic was mostly taken care of in financial services 20 years ago. This market is ripe for updating.
🗼 $3.2 trillion executes each day, on average, in interdealer FX swaps. The biggest segment of the world's largest market. ❓ Yet it's still mainly voice-brokered, even though voice is expensive, operationally inefficient, and risky. Why? 🤖 It's not a technology problem: past attempts to electronify it stalled because they fought against dealer economics, rather than supporting them. 📰 In e-Forex this month, FXswapX co-founders Simon Wilson-Taylor and Richard Leader explore why dealers know automation is a must, and what's stopped them acting on it. 🚀 FXswapX is built around that alignment - a fully-dark matching platform designed around dealer economics, not against them. 📩 If you're trading FX swaps, or an investor building a position in market infrastructure, we'd welcome a conversation. DM us. https://lnkd.in/e5F_yXzB

Why did Choose K elect to operate a Nillion Blacklight node? Because it allows us to work on behalf of users who install, use, and trust apps that integrate privacy-enhancing technologies like trusted execution environments (TEEs). In turn, this helps developers justify undertaking the effort (and incurring the overheads) of incorporating PETs into their apps. Monitor our node at https://lnkd.in/gZditgfP and consider publicizing and incentivizing broader adoption of PETs by launching your own.
𝐍𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. Blacklight is Nillion’s verification system that allows the community to independently verify private computation running on the Blind Computer, without exposing user data or execution logic. This marks a shift from a core-operated system to one that is secured and verified by the network itself. 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀. Anyone can run a node to help verify private workloads by continuously challenging secure enclave execution and confirming the correct code is running. At launch, Blacklight nodes verify workloads on nilCC, Nillion’s confidential compute layer, with support for additional TEE environments planned over time. To run a node, operators stake 𝟳𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 $𝗡𝗜𝗟. Verification work and rewards scale with stake: • More $NIL staked → more verification work • More work completed → larger share of rewards Rewards come from a fixed annual pool equal to 0.5% of total $NIL supply, so APY adjusts based on total network participation. Running a Blacklight node is designed to be straightforward. For full details on Blacklight, node operation, and rewards, read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/g_euVK4i

We are going deep into Privacy Enhancing Technologies at IAB Tech Lab #SignalShift West Coast Edition! Really getting to the weeds with the audience. We are focused on k-anonymity, differential privacy and homomorphic encryption. Great presentation by Frederick Jansen, CTO at Choose K! We are bringing this level of hands-on experimentation to the industry via the Tech Lab Privacy Lab in Q1 2026!
Looking forward to founder Shereen Shermak moderating a timely topis The Chatham Conference (formerly the Nantucket Conference).
Excited to lead a unique panel at The Chatham Conference (formerly the Nantucket Conference) on October 8th! We'll be delving into insightful discussions on Leadership and Strategy in Uncertain Times. For more details, you can view the full agenda at: https://lnkd.in/e9SEREs3
