Europe’s financial landscape is transforming, once again. Through the Savings and Investment Union (SIU) and a drive towards simplification, regulators are looking to reshape the post trade environment. Join leading market stakeholders to dissect how a single rulebook, accelerated settlement, and cross-border barrier removal are boosting market integration and competitiveness. The panel will explore how these changes have the potential to reduce costs, enhance liquidity, and attract investment. This is your chance to understand the strategic vision for a more efficient and resilient European capital market directly from its architects.

From consolidated reporting (SFTR and 10c1) to T+1 (CSDR) , this session will provide an exclusive update directly from the heart of ISLA’s market practice and regulatory efforts. We’ll move beyond discussions and delve into the tangible progress being made, showcasing how the collaborative work of ISLA’s members is transitioning from theoretical initiatives into practical, real-world workflows.

With the acceleration towards 24-hour trading, the opening of new markets, new asset classes, such as crypto, as well as new investor profiles growing in prevalence, such as retail, industry leaders face both existing and emerging challenges and unparalleled opportunities. Join leaders from across the securities finance value chain as they delve into the evolving landscape.

Against the backdrop of the previous session, we will gather post trade and operations’ practitioners to discuss how the changing trading, product and business needs are transcending into the middle and back office. How are they managing to the existing demands, whilst looking to build resilient, automated, and globally integrated post trade infrastructures of the future.

This session will explain the key findings from ISLA and ISDA’s latest industry survey of firms’ tokenisation plans for collateral, detailing why firms are investing in digitalisation of their collateral processing, what steps they are taking, and what returns they expect to see. Leveraging statistical insights from firms across the world, this presentation is designed to give you a clear idea of what tokenised collateral looks like for your business in 2025 and 2026.

Collateral mobilisation is no longer an ancillary function; it’s an integral and increasingly strategic part of the post-trade ecosystem. As markets evolve, with greater volatility, increased movement of assets across time zones, and the need to service clients 24/7, the need for data driven automation has never been greater. We’ll explore how margin cover must evolve from batch processes to continuous, dynamic assessments, leveraging tokenisation to unlock asset liquidity and automate movements. How will the emergence of tokenised money market funds enable increased utility of collateral and open up more seamless transferability in the future, how are firms thinking about optimising collateral in new digital ecosystems and how do they ensure robust risk management in an always-on global financial landscape.

This session will bring representatives from across the trading and settlement infrastructure ecosystem to evaluate current post trade architecture, and how they are responding to the challenges of today while preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow. Expect to hear about settlement in a digital world, the practical considerations for tokenised collateral, and the implications on current and future clearing models.
