Dans cet épisode, je reçois Mark Kepeneghian, fondateur de Lise (anciennement Kriptown), pour revenir sur huit années d'un parcours hors norme : la création d'une nouvelle bourse européenne pensée pour les PME, bâtie sur la technologie DLT et un cahier réglementaire entièrement inédit.Nous avons parlé :De la genèse de Kriptown en 2017, née de l'intuition que la technologie Ethereum allait transformer durablement les infrastructures de marché.De l'obtention du statut PSAN en 2020–2021, qui a permis de lancer les premières opérations en actifs numériques pour financer startups et PME.De la vision inchangée depuis le départ : construire une véritable bourse nouvelle génération, malgré l'absence de cadre réglementaire à l'époque.De l'arrivée du régime européen “DLT Pilot Regime” et de l'agrément DLT TSS, qui permet à Lise de réunir en interne bourse et dépositaire central de titres, avec un règlement-livraison instantané sans intermédiaires.De leur positionnement unique sur la liquidité : un marché secondaire intégré, permettant aux investisseurs d'acheter-revendre rapidement et aux émetteurs de trouver un financement plus efficace.De la création d'analyses indépendantes semestrielles neutres pour les PME grâce à un partenariat avec Valutico, afin de résoudre le manque d'information et de stimuler la liquidité.De la volonté de rediriger l'épargne vers l'économie réelle, en facilitant l'accès des PME au marché et en simplifiant le parcours d'IPO jusqu'à 12 millions d'euros.Un échange, qui montre comment Lise entend transformer le post-marché, simplifier la chaîne d'intermédiation et redonner aux PME un accès transparent, rapide et efficace au financement coté.En fin d'épisode, la recommandation de Marc :Tous les épisodes Finscale mais en particulier celui avec Delphine d'Amarziti d'Euronext, le précédent épisode sur Kriptown, et l'épisode consacré à Spiko Glossaire des acronymes pour faciliter la compréhension de l'épisode:PSAN – Prestataire de Services sur Actifs Numériques : Statut réglementaire français (AMF) permettant à une entreprise d'offrir des services liés aux crypto-actifs, comme l'achat/vente, la conservation ou l'échange. DLT – Distributed Ledger Technology : Technologie de registre distribué (dont la blockchain fait partie).

Send us a text◆ Data centres: crunch time for Europe's capital markets ◆ How AI is changing capital markets work... ◆ ... and hiringIt is no secret that data centre financing will be an increasingly important part of the capital markets in the years ahead. But this week we discuss why it is such a vital test for the EU's capital markets and the bloc's overall competitiveness as we contrast the progress in data centre securitization between the Europe and the US.We also take a close look at the changes AI is making to how people in the capital markets do their jobs. Despite all the talk of distributed ledger technology and digital bonds, the most senior debt capital markets bankers believe AI will be the biggest disrupter to tehir world of the choices offered in GlobalCapital's recent survey (they also say DLT is the most overhyped of the options). We discuss exactly how AI is being used in the markets and assess its potential.These stories, along with the survey of the heads of DCM are just some of the features in our Review 2025 | Outlook 2026 special report, which is free to read. It contains outlook pieces based on surveys of all of the major markets that GlobalCapital covers as well as interviews with some of the markets' biggest bond issuers and stories about the biggest themes that will affect capital markets in 2026.Read it here: Review 2025 | Outlook 2026

Valerie Urbain, CEO of Euroclear, joins Hiten Patel and Nikolai Dienerowitz to discuss Euroclear's role as a foundational global financial market infrastructure and the company's strategic priorities. Valerie opened up about her journey from Senegal to her role as Euroclear's CEO, emphasizing how culture, human capital development, diversity, and inclusion were at the core of her leadership philosophy and the organization's ability to innovate responsibly. The conversation touched upon the importance of trust and interoperability in traditional and digital markets, the need to convert European savers into investors to finance growth and scale-ups, balanced and nuanced regulation, cautious but active engagement with distributed ledger technology (DLT) and digital assets, and practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve productivity and client services.Key topics include:Euroclear's role and scale: As a global financial market infrastructure, Euroclear manages securities settlement and safekeeping (including equities, bonds, funds, ETFs), acting as a digital notary and a connector between issuers and investors. Euroclear links Europe to more than 45 markets, settles about the equivalent of the world's GDP each month, and safekeeps over €41 trillion in assets. Valerie's leadership formation: Raised across African countries, Valerie had an early exposure to “being different,” and gained autonomy when she moved to Europe at the age of 16. Her career spans client-facing roles, banking, and then progressing through commercial, product and general management positions and a formative five-year stint as head of HR, which later shaped her enterprise-wide people perspective. European capital markets: Valerie argues Europe must convert savers into investors to fund startups, scale-ups, and large financing needs, with Euroclear lowering costs through scale, supporting savings and investment union efforts, and enhancing market accessibility. Digital assets and DLT: Euroclear has piloted DLT-based issuance with reputable issuers, but volumes remain small. Scaling requires broad market participation and interoperability between legacy and digital systems.AI adoption: Euroclear has widely deployed Microsoft Copilot and uses AI to review end-to-end processes for productivity gains. Valerie shares an early client-facing use case where AI is used to predictively identify likely unmatched trades ahead of T+1 settlement. To embed ethics and governance into AI adoption, Euroclear hired a professional with a background in philosophy. Interoperability and trust as strategic assets: In a fragmented/geopolitical world, Euroclear positions itself as an interoperability glue between markets and traditional and digital assets, with a core strength being its ability to connect liquidity pools and enable collateral mobility. Valerie talks about trust as a scarce and crucial commodity and highlights Euroclear's commitment to upholding that, helped by their scale and rules-based operations.This episode is part of Innovators' Exchange, a series that explores the financial infrastructure and technology landscape. Tune in for a captivating exploration of key themes and opportunities for both professionals and retail investors, touching on AI's transformative potential in financial markets.

Money doesn't just move; it travels across rules, rails, and risk decisions that either create trust or destroy it. In the first of three episodes, we sit down with Sal Karakaplan, Chief Strategy Officer at The Clearing House, to explore how a century-old operator keeps reinventing the core of U.S. payments while shipping modern capabilities at scale. From instant settlement to tokenized data, this is a close look at what it takes to wire an economy for speed without sacrificing safety.We start with the foundation: what TCH runs under the hood - RTP, CHIPS, EPN, and check image exchange - and why reliability and advocacy both matter when you're operating the plumbing. Sal opens the strategy playbook: scan market trends, pick where to build, buy, or partner, and relentlessly prioritize use cases that create measurable customer value. That lens frames a practical take on open banking, where market innovation and regulation advance in parallel. Expect straight talk on security, DDA tokenization, liability clarity, and user consent that's simple for people and robust for compliance.RTP steps into focus with concrete momentum: growing daily volumes, expanding bank enablement, and use cases that resonate; account-to-account funding, B2C disbursements, merchant settlement, insurance payouts, and early wage access. We get real about adoption hurdles in a fragmented banking market and how to make the business case stack up. Beyond speed, the conversation highlights ISO 20022 and data-rich messages that reduce reconciliation friction and sharpen risk controls - critical for CFOs, treasurers, and operations leaders chasing working capital gains.Then we tackle stablecoins with a bottom-up filter: where do they outperform existing rails? Cross-border stands out, from remittances to marketplace payouts, alongside emerging hypotheses in tokenized settlement. Sal lays out the next 3–5 years: push RTP to ubiquity, evaluate DLT and tokenized deposits with discipline, lean into AI for commerce and fraud defense, and elevate security and data as first-class features. It's a pragmatic roadmap for banks, fintechs, and enterprises that want real outcomes, not buzzwords.
