The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) hosted a group of regulators and members of the financial industry in Washington, DC, for a discussion on blockchain tech last month.
The event, held on Capitol Hill, was designed by the DTCC to give regulators and other financial industry stakeholders a chance to ask questions directly to blockchain experts.
In a blog posted yesterday, DTCC managing director Mark Wetjen said of the event:
Following a talk from DTCC president and CEO Mike Bodson on how markets could leverage distributed ledgers, members of the audience were invited to address representatives of the blockchain industry.
Panelists included Digital Asset Holdings chief business development officer Chris Church; SEC trading and markets division deputy director Gary Goldsholle; DTCC office of FinTech strategy executive director Jennifer Peve; and Axoni CEO Greg Schvey.
