The iFX EXPO Asia 2026 will bring together brokers, fintech companies, technology and liquidity providers, payment firms, and other participants from across the financial services and online trading industry. A highlight of the event will be the panel discussion, “From Bitcoin to Bullion: Where Is the Real Revenue?” featuring Jason Hughes, General Manager of IC.
This session will focus on a question facing brokers across the industry: as new asset classes and technologies continue to attract investment, where are the strongest opportunities for sustainable growth? The debate aims to explore trading and funding flows, liquidity, regulation, and the long-term revenue potential of different asset classes.
Digital Assets vs. Established Markets: The Broker’s Dilemma
Digital assets have changed the trading environment significantly over the past decade. Crypto, tokenization, and the move towards 24/7 markets have opened new opportunities for brokers and their clients, while also driving investment in technology, infrastructure, and new products. At the same time, established markets remain an important part of the trading environment. Across Asia, gold, precious metals, and major FX pairs continue to attract significant trading activity.
For brokers, this creates a practical question: should the next phase of investment follow the growth of digital assets, or remain focused on the markets where client demand is already well established? The iFX EXPO Asia debate will look at the issue from a commercial perspective.
The Role of IC in Shaping the Future of Brokerage
Hughes noted, “The industry has more choice than ever in terms of products, technology, and infrastructure. For brokers, the challenge is deciding where that investment creates real value for clients and supports long-term growth. That is what makes this an interesting discussion to have now.”
