Video[edit]John Lothian News Interviews[edit]At the FIA’s IDX conference, in an interview with John Lothian News, Euronext Global Head of Derivatives & Post Trade Anthony Attia emphasized the need for a strong European presence in global clearing discussions and praised the panel for making complex topics accessible. He noted a “healthy tension” between clearing members and clearing houses, suggesting that regulatory transparency should extend to end investors as expectations increase. Attia said the U.S. move to T+1 settlement has had little immediate impact on Europe but has raised the issue’s profile, with European markets considering a similar shift. He expressed cautious interest in the tokenization of collateral. He was skeptical about integrating artificial intelligence directly into risk models, though he sees potential for AI in aggregating constraints across systems. Cybersecurity emerged as the top risk for central counterparties, with most industry participants citing it as their primary concern. However, some, like CME, believe they are well-prepared for such threats. References[edit]
