In a move to further the study of blockchain technology, the Toronto Stock Exchange has appointed a Bitcoin entrepreneur as its first chief digital officer, a senior executive at TSX parent TMX Group told Reuters.
In an interview, Jean Desgagne, chief executive of TMX’s Global Enterprise Services, said that Anthony Di Iorio, founder of several blockchain-based companies, took the position at Canada’s largest stock exchange in January.
“Blockchain is a disruptive technology,” Desgagne said, noting that major changes could result from its potential adoption. “We’re focused on it, we’re going to learn.”
