Digital Wallets: Here To Stay or a Trend to Fade?
Digital wallets have undergone significant evolution, transforming from a niche tech enthusiast's tool into a global necessity. This change transformation is largely attributed to their user-friendly nature. Initially designed to serve individuals without bank accounts, digital wallets have now gained popularity among a diverse user base. During FMLS:23 Center Stage, David Tirado Blanco, the VP of Global Business Development and Commercial Operations at Revolut, delved into the future of digital wallets and their users, exploring what lies ahead for this dynamic technology.

ETF: The Next Growth Wave Just Started
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are on the rise in the markets across the Atlantic. Investors are eager for all-encompassing solutions. Jürgen Blumberg, the Chief Operating Officer of EMEA, Goldman Sachs ETF Accelerator, gave an expansive view of the growth trajectory in this field at the Innovate Stage.
Blumberg mentioned: "If you look at the global ETF landscape, which boasts roughly 11 trillion US dollars in assets under management, about 20% of that are important ETFs. They are gaining popularity, and we think as well as a business that there is a huge opportunity."
"Retail investors need to have a lot of choices in the ETF industry, and more ETFs are coming into the market every year. This makes it easier for the investors to make their choices. I think that ETFs are almost designed for retail investors because they are fair, transparent, accessible, and tradable at any point in time."

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
