The next frontier for capital markets
Capital markets firms are facing mounting pressure to evolve their business and operating models to stay ahead amid rapidly changing market conditions, shifting customer expectations and technological advancements.
Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) – historically, the linchpins of the financial system, facilitating clearing, settlement and record-keeping – are now supporting the integration of digital asset securities into the conventional financial fabric.
As the maturity of cloud computing, machine learning and AI grow at an exponential speed, they present opportunities for modernisation and innovation - enhancing greater efficiency in existing businesses while unlocking new revenue pools.
A future-proof approach is now needed at both the firm and industry levels, enabled through a collaborative framework.
To that end, Euroclear and Microsoft are joining forces to engage with the industry and navigate these paradigm shifts.
In this thought-leadership paper, we are presenting a next-generation blueprint for the industry, grounded in real-world use cases and a shared vision for transformation.
The paper explores how emerging technologies like AI, cloud and confidential computing can:
reimagine the client and user experience, one that blends machine intelligence with human judgment
unlock the value of data by embracing the concept of federated access to information across the enterprise and the industry
enable industry-wide ecosystem collaboration by embracing industry standards, interoperability and partnerships
This whitepaper builds upon the foundation laid by our previous collaborative publication, 'Advancing the digital asset era, together'.
