Discussing the concept of integrating smart contracts into traditional trading platforms.
Renting NFTs without a collateral may enhance revenue and customer satisfaction.
We are witnessing the birth of a digital era. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) are being developed and tested in preparation for mass adoption by global institutions.
Stablecoins, particularly Tether (USDT) trading volumes are surging at the time of writing. While it may be attributed to the war between Russia and Ukraine, stablecoins' usage may only rise over time.
In this article, I would like to discuss the concept of integrating smart contracts into traditional trading platforms that may be seen in the near future.
The concept is particularly for retail trading but parts may be used at an institutional level. The demand for both cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is expected to increase in 2022. The concept focuses on integrating NFTs into the trading software in exchange for trading benefits.
Aside from art NFT, non-fungible tokens have many possible forms of usage. NFTs can replace the traditional ticketing system, the way we vote, coupons and more.
Both forex brokers and crypto exchanges offer traders lower transaction fees based on the monthly trading volumes. This applies to spot trading and futures including perpetual futures.
What if we can enhance the commission structure, increase customer satisfaction and revenue via NFTs?
Integrating Smart Contracts
The standard form of NFTs marketplaces is buying and selling non-fungible tokens. OpenSea, Nifty Gateway and SuperRare all abide by the basic form of buying and selling.
However, NFT owners may lend their NFTs, 'NFT renting'. Non-fungible tokens may be borrowed for a predetermined period of time before being returned to the owner.
It is more predominant in companies that specialize in real estate NFTs in the metaverse, lending their virtual properties to other users. My concept evolves around bringing the NFT lending protocols into crypto and forex trading.
Before elaborating on the benefits of these protocols I would like to clarify how NFTs are borrowed via smart contracts. I am focusing on lending NFTs without collateral.
The terms of the rental is embedded in a smart contract such as the rental duration. If the renter agrees to the rental duration and the rental price, a wrapped version of the NFT is minted and sent to the borrower. The original NFT remains in the custody of the lender.
The wrapped NFT has an expiration, which was determined prior to renting the NFT. Once the wrapped NFT expires, the wrapped NFT is sent back to the contract, thus burning the wrapped NFT.
These protocols, which already exist and are being developed further, are known as 'IQ Protocol.'
Crypto exchanges and forex brokers may benefit from these protocols. I will take trading conditions as an example. The broker may offer its clients better spreads via dedicated NFTs. For example, it may range from as short as 15 minutes to 24 hours.
If the trader agrees to pay the fee to receive lower spreads, a wrapped NFT is minted and allocated to the trader's dedicated account in the trading platform. Upon depositing the wrapped NFT, the trading platform recognizes the lower-spreads wrapped NFT and automatically reduces the spreads as long as the wrapped NFT is present.
Once the wrapped NFT expires, it is sent back to the contact (which causes it to burn). Upon the removal of the wrapped NFT from the trading platform the lower-spreads privilege ends automatically.
The tokens for renting the NFT may be pegged to the US Dollar (stablecoin) to avoid exposure to market volatility. IQ Protocol blockchain may be used to support the fully automated renting process.
While brokers or the exchange's commissions may be temporarily reduced, they may be compensated via a large number of traders that are interested in lower spreads for a certain period of time.
Aside from trading conditions, the financial company may award its traders with other incentives. Faster withdrawals and subscriptions to various services offered by the broker may be offered via smart contracts.
This is a future concept of smart contracts integration to trading platforms as we know them today. A dedicated platform must be developed to allow such functionality.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
