Trading Technologies CEO Keith Todd made a deal with Talos, a provider of institutional digital asset trading technology, and John Lothian News wanted to know more about it and what it meant for TT and its customers. 

So JLN sat down with Todd in TT’s offices in London on the Monday of IDX week to shoot a video interview with Todd as TT was preparing to make the announcement. 

Todd reflected on the large number of crypto players at the March 2022 FIA Boca conference, which saw crypto firms dominate the sponsorship of the conference. He also reflected on the number of traditional market players engaged with the crypto world and discussions about where the world is headed. 

JLN asked Todd about the demand for crypto products from TT customers. We also asked him about the future of traditional markets. He talked about how, as TT moves into other asset classes, it is about more than just technology. It is about people and relationships, and TT will most likely pursue acquisitions and partnerships to expand into other asset classes. 

Todd was asked about what the impact on TT has been of the acquisition by 7Ridge. He talked about the RCM-X and the integration of KRM22 into the TT platform, but he mostly talked about energizing a motivated team of employees.
