About the Summit

For the 13th consecutive year, Rosenblatt’s FinTech Summit brings together a carefully selected group of FinTech CEOs to describe how they are helping transform the financial services industry. For over a decade, our event has provided an excellent opportunity to understand how cutting-edge technology is transforming our lives, and to hear from leading entrepreneurs and investors how they are creating the future.

This year’s Summit “Building Tomorrow’s Marketplaces” is about the transformation we are seeing in the financial services industry, with new assets getting digitized and traded on emerging marketplaces that are being set up to deal in Private securities, Real Estate, Cryptocurrencies, Art, Customer Rewards and NFTs.

Join us as we delve into this critical transformation, guided by thought leaders from 16 cutting-edge FinTechs who will describe how they are creating tomorrow’s marketplaces. We are delighted that our Summit will be kicked-off with a fireside chat with Nasdaq’s CEO Adena Friedman, followed by three-panel discussions featuring 15 FinTech CEOs, moderated by Rosenblatt’s FinTech banking team members Vikas Shah and Dushyant Shahrawat.

Marketplaces of Tomorrow
Bringing New Assets to Truly Digital Marketplaces
New assets are being rapidly digitized so they can be easily traded on new marketplaces that are emerging quickly (private securities, cryptocurrencies, real estate, loyalty points, collectible art, NFTs). These marketplaces democratize investing by making new assets investable and tradable, ushering a new era in wealth management.
Key Discussion Questions
  • How will embedded finance define the next phase of FinTech evolution?
  • What technologies are enabling EF, and how will demand for such solutions grow and develop?
  • How will EF impact the industry’s economics, growth and profit pools?
  • What role will incumbent financial institutions play in this new industry landscape?

Digital Asset Infrastructure
Building Institutional-Grade Infrastructure to Support New Markets
New markets to trade new assets require a whole new infrastructure stack: pre trade support, execution, custody, securities lending, and clearing and settlement. Fortunately, a new class of innovative FinTechs are building the pipes, platforms and plumbing to bring new assets online. Smart investors consider this a top investment opportunity.
Key Discussion Questions
  • What are the structural impediments to democratize access to new assets?
  • Which alternative assets can benefit the most from tech innovation?
  • What are key innovations across the front, middle and back office that are making assets more investable?
  • How will the provision of new assets change wealth management

Featured FinTechs

Fireside Chat
With Adena Friedman
Adena will share her vision for how firms like Nasdaq can take their experience and expertise in financial markets, to create new markets in new types of assets like cryptocurrencies, and transform traditional industries like insurance and real estate. She will describe how the future involves converting old and new assets to some form of digitized securities, and then trade these assets on platforms provided by firms like Nasdaq and others. In time, this will create a new class of investable and tradable assets beyond financial securities, and transform investing and wealth management.
