Fix's new group will be chaired by Sean Ristau, head of wealth management and derivatives at Raptor Trading Sytems; Ron Quaranta, CEO of Digital Currency Labs LLC; and Ryan Pierce, director and technology architect of engineering and execution at CME Group.
Ristau said in a statement:
"As digital currency and blockchain technology initiatives around the globe continue to grow, members are looking to the FIX Trading Community group for guidance. The formation of this working group is an important step in the process."
The new working group will seek to identify, analyse and define use cases and integration points for digital currency and distributed ledger technology across capital market requirements and recommend best practises for implementation and usage of the technology across financial markets.
The announcement comes months after, Coinbase integrated Fix's trading protocol – used by most major stock exchanges and investment banks – to its bitcoin exchange.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
