Michael Hiles, CEO of 10XTS and a recognized leader in blockchain and capital markets innovation, will be a featured speaker at the Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Summit, a global virtual academic conference co-sponsored by the University of Naples Federico II, the University of South Florida’s M3 Center, and AcademiaCentral. The event, free to attend and open to the public, will bring together academic leaders, industry professionals, and blockchain enthusiasts from around the world to explore the transformative impact of blockchain technology across various sectors.
Exploring Blockchain’s Disruption of Traditional Capital Markets
Hiles’s session, titled “How Traditional Capital Markets Infrastructure Is Being Disrupted by Blockchain,” will delve into the rapid evolution of legacy securities infrastructure and the rise of programmable, tokenized securities. In his presentation, Hiles will examine how blockchain technology is fundamentally reshaping the architecture of capital markets, making them more efficient, transparent, and accessible. Attendees will gain insights into the advantages of tokenization in democratizing asset ownership, enhancing liquidity, and reducing barriers for entry in securities markets.
“Blockchain is not just another technological advancement—it’s a reimagination of the foundational layers of the financial system,” said Michael Hiles. “As we see capital markets shifting toward tokenized models, the ability to build compliance-driven, programmable assets introduces both efficiency and accountability in ways that traditional systems cannot match. I’m thrilled to join this esteemed conference to discuss the practical impacts of this paradigm shift with a global audience.”
