One solution gaining traction in the industry is the implementation of Proof of Funds.
In the wake of the FTX crash, the cryptocurrency landscape has been forever altered, revealing the vulnerabilities inherent in centralized exchanges. While these exchanges continue to hold significant value in the digital asset ecosystem, they face the challenge of addressing the concerns of their users, who fear the potential loss of funds due to mismanagement.
One solution gaining traction in the industry is the implementation of Proof of Funds, a mechanism that ensures transparency and security in the exchange of digital assets.
Proof of Funds Send a Powerful Signal
As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, it is clear that centralized exchanges must adapt to the changing needs of their users.
Implementing Proof of Funds as a standard practice would address concerns regarding the security of users' assets and promote transparency and trust within the industry. This new paradigm of accountability could pave the way for a more robust and reliable ecosystem for digital asset trading.
By embracing this shift, centralized exchanges can remain competitive despite emerging decentralized alternatives, offering users a seamless and secure trading experience. In doing so, they can continue to play a crucial role in the ongoing growth and development of the global digital asset market.
Adaptability Is Crucial in Finance
Long-standing financial markets players such as Exinity Group, Alpari, and FXTM have witnessed the evolution of the digital asset market firsthand. Since its inception in 1998, the Alpari Group has been a pioneer in online Forex trading, offering its cutting-edge Metatrader platform to clients.
In 2011, the group expanded with the addition of FXTM, a sister brand that has helped solidify its presence in the global online trading sphere. Together, these brands have served over two million clients in 150 countries, operating from regulated centers across four continents.
Recognizing the potential for growth in the cryptocurrency market, Exinity Group is adding Boxwind to its portfolio. Boxwind aims to address the unique challenges customers face in emerging markets, such as limited access to financial services and scarce options for cryptocurrency trading.
Boxwind seeks to empower its clients by offering crypto exchange services, providing them with the necessary tools and resources to succeed in digital assets. With a focus on high-quality customer service and competitive pricing. The brand's strategy is bolstered by the robust resources, industry knowledge, and financial support the Exinity Group provides.
An Overall Positive Change for The Crypto Vertical
Implementing Proof of Funds as a standard for centralized exchanges has the potential to redefine the cryptocurrency landscape. It addresses the anxieties of users concerned with their digital assets' security and transparency while fostering a more stable and trustworthy environment for digital asset trading.
Centralized exchanges must adapt and innovate, ensuring they remain vital to the global financial ecosystem. Moreover, the call for broader transparency regarding reserves and funds has never been louder than today.

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.
