As part of the event on 20 November, Exactpro CEO & Co-Founder Iosif Itkin joined a panel discussion titled 'Tradition & Innovation: Celebrating the Strengths of Traditional Financial Markets in the Age of Crypto.’

The session explored the enduring value of traditional financial services, such as exchange trading and central counterparty clearing (CCPs), the strengths of traditional finance (TradFi) in providing stability and trust, the lessons that can be drawn from both TradFi and crypto, as well as why innovations like distributed ledger technology (DLT) have yet to achieve widespread adoption.

Exactpro was delighted to support the event as a sponsor, to have our team onsite to meet with participants and discuss how our AI Testing approach can be leveraged for improving the quality, operational resilience, stability, capacity, and availability of exchanges and clearing systems, among other financial infrastructures.
