Nick Solinger
Nick Solinger is President and CEO of FIA Tech, the derivatives market infrastructure company owned by a consortium of clearing firms and the Futures Industry Association. He leads the Trade Data Network, the post-trade processing hub that quietly moves listed derivatives trades among executing brokers, clearing brokers, and end clients. A CFA charterholder with an MIT computer science degree, he spent much of the 2000s and 2010s at Traiana building the Harmony network before taking over FIA Tech in January 2016.
Arjun Jayaram
Arjun Jayaram is the Founder and CEO of Baton Systems, a San Francisco-based fintech company rebuilding post-trade infrastructure for the world's largest financial institutions. A serial technologist who previously co-founded Compass Labs (acquired by Yahoo) and held roles at Twitter and Dwolla, Jayaram identified a stubborn problem in the financial plumbing - that moving digital assets across different ledgers was the real bottleneck, not the digitization of assets themselves. Under his leadership, Baton's platform now processes nearly $30 billion in daily transaction value for seven of the nine largest western banks, enabling real-time settlement and intraday liquidity management without requiring institutions to replace their core systems.
Luis Cuello
Luis Cuello is the Founder and CEO of Minted Protocol (MintedAssociates Corp), building mUSD - the first exclusive Canton-native institutional stable settlement token. With a background spanning BNP Paribas fund administration and M&A at Johnson & Johnson, Cuello brings traditional finance credibility to one of DeFi's most ambitious institutional plays: a GENIUS Act-aligned stablecoin backed 1:1 by HQLA-equivalent reserves on the Canton Network, the blockchain infrastructure processing $6T+ in monthly settlements for the world's largest financial institutions.
