DRW’s Don Wilson Says 24/7 Collateral Mobility and Tokenization Are Essential for Market Evolution


LONDON, UK—(JLN)—June 27, 2025—The future of financial markets hinges on real-time collateral movement and native tokenization, according to Don Wilson, founder and CEO of DRW. Speaking at FIA IDX in London, Wilson emphasized that as markets shift to 24/7 trading, the ability to move collateral and variation margin instantly is “essential” to avoid injecting “significant additional risk into the financial system.” He warned, “If you move to 24/7 markets and you can’t move collateral or variation margin 24/7 and instantaneously, you inject significant additional risk into the financial system. So I think that it’s essential and it needs to go hand-in-hand with that evolution.”
