BOSTON,MA - June 11, 2026 — Joanna Herrick, Partner and Chief Growth Officer at TorreBlanc, attended the Boston FIX Forum 2026, hosted by FIX Trading Community on June 11 at State Street's Boston office. The forum focused on digital assets and institutional market infrastructure, examining what tokenization means in practice for trading, clearing, and settlement workflows, and how FIX standards can adapt to support emerging market structures.
The program included a market update and welcome remarks, a fireside chat on the fundamentals of digital asset infrastructure and institutional adoption, and a panel discussion on tokenization as a bridge between digital assets and traditional finance, followed by a networking reception. The forum drew buy-side, sell-side, trading venue, and technology provider representatives for a focused conversation on the road ahead for market infrastructure.
Joanna said of the conference, "Conversations like the ones at the Boston FIX Forum are a great reminder of how quickly market infrastructure is evolving,” said Herrick. “Digital assets and tokenization are no longer theoretical for our clients — they're active considerations, and forums like this help keep the whole industry moving instep.”
