On the moving side, market makers and quantitative trading firms such as Citadel Securities, Jump Trading LLC, and Virtu Financial have elbowed their way into equity markets with new technology and less regulation and have started to turn their sights toward fixed income.

Yet the level of understanding of blockchain among senior executives still has a way to go, notes TABB Group head of fintech research Monica Summerville.
