What happens when software engineers, quantitative researchers, and nonprofit leaders collaborate on a STEM challenge for high school students? At DRW, it looked like students designing APIs, solving complex problems together, and discovering new possibilities for their future careers. Through our partnership with @code2college, employees across Austin and Chicago offices helped create hands-on learning experiences that made technical concepts approachable, collaborative, and fun. One student left the competition saying: “I want to become an engineer.” Read more about the partnership and the people behind it in our 2025 Social Impact Report: ow.ly/Zz8850ZnGzS #STEMEducation #FutureWorkforce #CommunityInvestment

Canton was built for moments like this. DTCC's production trading with DTC-tokenized securities shows that tokenization can fit into existing market structure instead of forcing markets to choose between old and new. We were proud to participate alongside many other leaders in the industry and excited for what's next. Learn more: wsj.com/finance/investing/jp…

#DRWVC is proud to have been an early investor in @DatabentoHQ. Today, Databento announced its $97M Series B led by NEA—an important milestone for a company tackling one of capital markets' longstanding infrastructure challenges. For decades, accessing market data has meant navigating legacy systems, lengthy onboarding, and operational complexity. Databento has taken a fundamentally different approach, making institutional-grade market data easier to access, integrate, and use through modern APIs. That approach has enabled Databento to serve a broad range of customers, from student trading competitions to many of the world's leading financial institutions. We're excited to continue supporting Christina Qi and the Databento team as they build the next generation of market data infrastructure. prnewswire.com/news-releases…

As global regulators including the @SECGov, @CFTC and @bankofengland explore how best to enable markets to benefit from the efficiencies moving on-chain, blockchain selection is an underrated but critical choice. Some designs embed front-running and information leakage directly into execution. Others are designed to prevent it. My latest in the @FT on why these choices matter for investors and capital markets: ft.com/content/2fdbb11e-8c8d…
