London — Trade Treasury Payments (TTP), the independent media and intelligence platform focused on liquidity and risk management, has launched TTP Studios, a dedicated broadcast studio in London designed to capture conversations about the cross-border financial systems that power the real economy.

The studio will produce high-quality video podcasts (“vodcasts”), interviews, and roundtables examining how liquidity, credit, and payments move across borders, and what is shaping global trade, development finance, and corporate risk management.

The launch is accompanied by the first episode of TTP Studios, featuring Deepesh Patel, editor-in-chief of Trade Treasury Payments, and Eleanor Hill, treasury editor, discussing the biggest shifts currently unfolding across trade, treasury, and payments.

“TTP Studios is designed to be an insider’s lens on liquidity and risk management,” Patel said. “Trade finance, treasury, and payments are the financial plumbing of the real economy. The decisions taken by banks, insurers, development institutions, and corporates determine whether capital can move efficiently across borders.”

The inaugural episode highlights several structural shifts across the market. In treasury, the accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence is moving beyond experimentation, with corporates deploying AI tools for tasks such as automated foreign exchange trading and analysing bank fee structures. In trade, fragmentation continues to reshape global commerce, with new tariffs, regional blocs, and digital trade frameworks reshaping cross-border flows. More than 2,500 trade restrictions were introduced globally in the first ten months of 2025 alone.

The conversation also explores persistent challenges for corporates managing global liquidity. Foreign exchange exposure remains one of the most significant risks for multinational companies, often hidden across fragmented operations and systems. At the same time, cross-border payment efficiency is still uneven despite major investments in payment infrastructure.

Yet new technologies are also beginning to shift the landscape. According to Hill, stablecoins (once dismissed by most corporates) are now being tested by some leading firms as a tool for faster cross-border payments.

“TTP Studios allows us to explore these shifts in a more human way,” Hill said. “We want to bring together practitioners across trade, treasury and payments to share insights, challenge assumptions, and explain how the system actually works.”

The purpose-built London studio features multi-camera 4K production, broadcast-grade microphones, and professional studio acoustics, enabling high-quality vodcasts and executive discussions with leaders across banking, corporates, fintech, development finance institutions, and policy organisations.

Founded to bring clarity to the intersection of trade, treasury, and payments, TTP provides independent reporting and analysis on liquidity, working capital, and financial risk across the global economy. The platform connects decision-makers across banks, corporates, fintechs, multilateral development institutions, and policymakers working to strengthen the infrastructure supporting international trade.

The audience has grown fast. Today, TTP reaches more than 57,000 monthly readers, 12,000 newsletter subscribers and over 7,000 social media followers, with 108,000 monthly impressions across social channels and coverage spanning 46 countries. 

The studio will build on this ecosystem by providing a platform for deeper conversations with practitioners shaping the future of global finance. As global trade networks evolve, TTP Studios aims to capture the perspectives of those designing, financing, and regulating the systems that allow money, goods, and capital to move across borders.
