FIX Trading Community Releases Free ‘Blockchain Basics’ Manual for Finance Professionals

Subscribe to our newsletter

The FIX Trading Community has launched “Blockchain Basics”, a comprehensive, vendor-neutral manual designed to help finance professionals integrate digital assets and blockchain technology into traditional systems. Developed in partnership with QUBIC Labs, the guide bridges the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) by covering core concepts, regulatory contexts, tokenisation, and workflow impacts.

The publication addresses a long-standing information gap in the industry, offering the first single source of education on implementing DeFi tools within existing infrastructures. Because virtually all trading firms rely on the FIX Protocol, this resource centralises the necessary information for firms evaluating digital asset products.

Available for free on the FIX website, the manual is accompanied by a newly published set of recommended practices. This additional guidance assists firms with the technical implementation of digital asset workflows and trading.
