Good morning.

Chicago has long been one of the world’s most important financial centers — a city built on trading, market-making and innovation. Now we've added crypto to the mix.

On Thursday, June 4, I’ll be talking with Don Wilson, founder and CEO of trading firm DRW, during a Crain’s Chicago Business Power Breakfast conversation about Chicago’s evolving role in crypto and digital markets.

Wilson has spent decades at the center of Chicago’s trading industry and has become one of the key figures bridging traditional financial markets and the emerging crypto economy.

We'll explore why Chicago is uniquely positioned — with its deep institutional trading expertise and infrastructure, as well as its influence on market structure, regulation and liquidity — to take advantage of this moment. We’ll also discuss where crypto goes from here in the U.S., how institutional participation is changing the market and what opportunities — and risks — may lie ahead for the industry as digital assets move further into the financial mainstream.

It promises to be a great conversation. Hope you can join us.
