As part of the Finance Magnates × iFX EXPO International 2026 collaboration, the inaugural Finance Magnates Industry Talks podcast studio welcomed some of the industry’s leading voices for a series of exclusive interviews recorded live during iFX EXPO International 2026 in Limassol, Cyprus.
Go beyond the conference stage with conversations that give you direct access to the ideas, trends and market developments shaping the future of online trading, fintech and financial services.

Moving beyond traditional conference sessions, the Industry Talks gives the global financial community direct access to the people driving change across the industry. Each interview explores the challenges, opportunities, and trends influencing business decisions today and the direction of financial markets tomorrow.
Industry leaders discuss the trends shaping financial services
The first series features exclusive interviews with respected leaders from across the financial ecosystem, covering regulation, technology, investing, payments, and digital assets.
🎙️Industry Talk: Stablecoins and the future of cross-border payments
As financial institutions continue to explore digital payment infrastructure, stablecoins are becoming an increasingly important topic.
Lux Thiagarajah, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, examines whether stablecoins could complement or replace parts of today’s payment infrastructure, the importance of interoperability between traditional finance and digital assets, the rise of programmable money, OpenPayd’s upcoming public listing, and how AI is supporting innovation across financial services.
🎙️Industry Talk: Can prediction markets become a mainstream financial product?
Prediction markets continue to attract attention as brokers and technology providers look beyond traditional trading products.
Max Finn, Board Member at Blackbridge Investment Swiss, explores whether prediction markets can evolve beyond sports betting, how regulators may approach the sector, how they compare with binary options, and why many brokers are monitoring developments before entering the market.
🎙️Industry Talk: The next generation of investing infrastructure
As investing platforms continue to evolve, infrastructure is becoming just as important as user experience.
Salim Sebbata, Chief Commercial Officer Europe at GTN, explains how AI, embedded finance, and API-first platforms are changing the way investment services are built. The discussion also examines how investor expectations are changing and why brokers are increasingly investing in scalable infrastructure rather than standalone applications.
🎙️Industry Talk: Tokenization enters its next phase
Real-world asset tokenization continues to move from concept to implementation.
Anton Golub, Founding Member at RWA Labs, discusses the opportunities and challenges surrounding tokenized assets, including liquidity, regulation, Binance’s MiCA licensing efforts, prediction markets, and the role regulation will play in supporting long-term growth across digital assets.
🎙️Industry Talk: The future of prop trading
The proprietary trading sector continues to evolve as firms respond to increasing competition and changing client expectations.
Syed Abdullah Galib, Co-Founder of FundedNext, shares his views on payout transparency, regulation, technology, and why many prop firms are expanding into brokerage services as the industry matures.
🎙️Industry Talk: Cyprus as a financial services hub
Cyprus remains one of Europe’s most established locations for regulated financial firms, but the market continues to evolve.
Charles Savva, Managing Director at Savva & Associates, discusses the increasing cost of obtaining a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) licence, the country’s competitive position, MiCA’s impact on innovation, and the common mistakes companies make when relocating their operations.
