Representatives from major financial firms including NASDAQ, Broadridge, and Two Sigma convened to analyze how artificial intelligence and blockchain are reshaping capital markets, regulation, and the dynamics between institutional and retail investors. The panel concluded that while technology drives efficiency, reduces settlement cycles, and navigates regulatory complexity, human judgment remains essential for risk management, ethical investing, and defining client goals. Ultimately, the discussion projected a future where algorithmic tools and AI augment rather than replace financial advisors, particularly as the industry shifts toward personalized financial planning and new asset classes like Bitcoin ETFs.
