The Unicorns Podcast

In this episode of The Unicorns Podcast, we sit down with Andy Ting from BDX Markets to explore one of the biggest challenges facing the rapidly growing online trading industry: trust. As millions of traders across Asia and beyond use platforms such as MT4 and MT5 to access global markets, BDX is betting that blockchain technology can bring a new level of transparency and visibility to the way trading infrastructure operates.

Andy takes us inside the launch of BDX Markets, explains how its blockchain-powered model works, and discusses the convergence of traditional trading and Web3. We also explore the growth of retail trading across Asia, what traders increasingly expect from brokers and platforms, and whether blockchain could help reshape the future of the global CFD industry.
