Brett Harrison has created an enterprise based on AI.
He wants to help retail investors in their daily trading.
The former
president of the fallen cryptocurrency exchangeFTX US has abandoned one hot
market trend for another. Brett Harrison has jumped onto the artificial
intelligence (AI) branch leaving the digital asset industry and opened a new
company called Architect Financial Technologies.
As he
stated in an interview with Bloomberg, his enterprise is ready to take
advantage of the AI boom.
Architect's Artificial
Intelligence to Assist Traders
Architect
plans to offer solutions for individual investors, integrating the recently
popular ChatGPT from OpenAI. Thanks to this integration, traders will be able
to gain faster and easier access to exchanges and use more complex trading
strategies. As Harrison claims, his company will provide retailers with access
to tools previously reserved for institutional-class traders.

"We
think we can greatly lower the barrier to entry to writing those kinds of
strategies by using natural language prompts," the former FTX US president
commented during an interview for Bloomberg Television.
In
addition, the company announced in April that it plans to present a 'trading
algorithm generator', which will be based on GPT-4 technology.
Apart from retail
investors, Architect is targeting institutional investors, aiming to offer
solutions for asset managers and hedge funds. Architect's tools could be used
on cryptocurrency exchanges and traditional trading floors.
FTX's Bad Reputation Follows
Architect
The company
managed to raise 5 million dollars in January, although the founder was hoping
for at least twice that amount. As Harrison claims, the difficulty in
attracting investors lies in the fact that many companies do not want to invest
in a person who was the president of such a controversial exchange as FTX.
Although
Harrison was not charged with anything related to FTX US's operations, the
bankruptcy of Sam-Bankman Fried's (SBF) exchange resonated widely across the
market. The United States began to scrutinize the digital asset industry much
more closely, filing lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance, the two largest
crypto platforms operating in the country.
After the
collapse of FTX US, Harrison's bridges in the digital asset industry may have
been burned. Therefore, he decided to abandon one market boom and try his luck
in another, which has sparked the imagination of investors in recent months. AI
can undoubtedly change the face of trading; the question is whether Architect
will become part of this change.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

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.
