A technologist sees a hotel doorman and thinks “Let's automate this.” A finance veteran sees security, service, and human connection.

In this episode of Chief Digital Heroes in banking, Nick Philpott, Co-founder & Head of Partnerships at Zodia Markets, uses this analogy to challenge how we think about innovation in finance: it isn't about balancing old vs new — it's about understanding the true purpose of what we're trying to improve. Before we "disrupt" anything, we need to fully understand what we're disrupting and why. Sometimes the most valuable innovation isn't replacing systems but enhancing them with purpose.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵? 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻.

Nick Philpott, Co-founder & Head of Partnerships, shares how Zodia Markets transformed Standard Chartered's risk framework for crypto operations. The key was knowing what to keep, what to cut, and what to create new.

The most interesting part isn't what they added — it's what they removed. Take post-trade confirmations: essential in T+1 settlement, pointless in a T0 world. Meanwhile, simple currency additions that barely warrant review in traditional banking require deep blockchain analysis in crypto.

A masterclass in practical innovation: preserve what works, eliminate what doesn't, build what's missing — all this and more on the latest episode of Chief Digital Heroes in Banking.

𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼?

You might be missing the point, according to Nick Philpott, Co-founder & Head of Partnerships at Zodia Markets. His contrarian take is that most of the regulatory frameworks we need for crypto already exist, and there’s no need to start from scratch — or to wait for governing bodies to pass regulations.

From derivatives to security tokens, the fundamental principles remain the same — don't abuse the market, don't harm the customer. Even new elements like MEV, require mere tweaks to existing frameworks, not a complete regulatory reset. In short? The tools are already there. We just need to use them properly.

Tune in to this episode of Chief Digital Heroes in Banking for more of Nick’s insights.

Nick Philpott, Co-founder & Head of Partnerships, tells Matthew how Zodia Markets engineered a solution by integrating traditional FX rails with crypto infrastructure. Unlike typical DeFi protocols, they've preserved sophisticated trading mechanisms while leveraging blockchain for settlement. Their breakthrough? Using regulated stablecoins as proxy instruments for 24/7 trading in time-zone restricted currencies.

The risk management framework is equally sophisticated. By adapting Standard Chartered's policy hierarchy, they've created new standards for asset due diligence and custodian evaluation that satisfy institutional requirements, without waiting for explicit regulatory guidance.

For anyone building market infrastructure or managing cross-border treasury operations, this episode breaks down the nuts and bolts of implementing PvP settlement and capital management in a T0 environment.

This fragmentation doesn't just impact fees — it creates real friction for businesses trying to conduct basic regional commerce.
