About the Summit

The overarching theme for this year’s FinTech Summit is “The (Re)Plumbing of Financial Markets.” Financial markets are undergoing a fundamental transformation as new technologies, products, and business models are necessitating major changes to the infrastructure for issuing, trading, transferring, clearing, and settling money and assets. The Summit will explore the shift toward markets that are increasingly tokenized, programmable, global, and always-on, the accompanying reshaping of TradFi plumbing required, and what this transformation means for established financial institutions, emerging FinTech companies, and the broader financial ecosystem.

Panel Topics

The Road to Equity Tokenization 
In the most crypto-friendly US political and regulatory environment to date, both upstart and incumbent players are pursuing a range of paths toward “tokenizing” stocks and ETFs. What are the benefits of using blockchain technology to represent shares as crypto tokens? And do they justify the potential complications for existing participants in the world’s biggest, most-efficient, most-envied equities market? How long will it all take to happen? We’ll hear how two crypto-friendly firms, traditional clearing-and-settlement utility DTCC and a market maker straddling both worlds are approaching the phenomenon.
Exclusive: This panel will be a recording of a live panel from our client-only Annual Market Structure Conference hosted on October 8th in NYC.

Markets Never Sleep: Building the Architecture for 24/7 Markets

As trading moves toward an always-on world, the infrastructure supporting financial markets will need to evolve with it. We will explore what 24/7 markets mean for liquidity, funding, market data, clearing, settlement, and collateral, and whether today's market architecture can adapt or needs to be fundamentally rebuilt.

Reinventing Derivatives: Perpetual Futures and Prediction Markets the Next Exchange Battleground?

Perpetual futures and prediction markets are introducing new ways to trade financial and event-based exposure, increasingly overlapping with territory traditionally occupied by established futures and options contracts. This panel will examine whether these products can develop into major new asset classes and how they could reshape competition across exchanges and derivatives markets.

The Future of Payments: Stablecoins, AI Agents & Programmable Money

Stablecoins are emerging as new rails for moving money, while AI agents could create an entirely new class of economic actors that transact autonomously. This panel will explore how stablecoins, agentic payments, and programmable money could reshape payments, and what the emerging payment stack for both humans and machines will look like.
