Digital Assets Grow Despite Fragmented Market

Digital assets are expanding across financial markets, while the market remains divided among trading venues, blockchain networks, service providers and regulatory systems.

The fragmentation creates differences in liquidity, pricing, technology standards and market access. Participants may need separate systems to trade, store and transfer digital assets, which can complicate transactions between platforms.

Growth in the sector has increased demand for services that connect trading platforms, blockchain networks, financial institutions and users. These services are intended to support the movement of assets and information between systems.
