The latest episode of the Innovators’ Exchange, recorded live in Boca Raton, features a lively panel discussing how market infrastructure is evolving beyond traditional futures into software, data, and energy/real-assets markets. In a debate about expansion versus retrenchment, Hiten Patel talks with Carsten Kengeter, CEO of 7RIDGE, Andrea Stone, CEO of Zema Global, and Sam Tegel, CEO of ElectronX, about trading, data analytics, and market structure.
Key themes include: technology and AI are powerful tools but can’t replace deep industry knowledge; energy markets bring unique physical, timing, and speed challenges that need new market designs and stronger data governance; and while these changes offer big opportunities — new products, liquidity pools, and participant types — they also bring systemic risks (credit and equity exposures) that financial market infrastructures (FMIs) must address with transparency and strong competitive advantages.
