Preparing for the next generation of market infrastructure, State Street
How will AI and digital assets reshape market infrastructure?
In the latest Hot Topics at Sibos 2026, TTP’s Joy McKnight sat down with Donna Milrod, State Street, to explore how AI and digital assets are moving from experimentation towards real-world applications across financial markets.
In the conversation, they discussed:
• How the digital asset industry is moving from experimentation to execution, with a focus on business cases that make economic sense
• How AI could help address fragmentation, liquidity and interoperability challenges created by digital assets
• Why traditional and digital rails are likely to coexist, and how financial institutions can bridge the two
• The importance of clean data, modern infrastructure and new talent as AI becomes increasingly embedded in financial services
• How banks are evolving their operating models around products and platforms to deliver greater agility and meet changing client needs
• Why financial institutions should be thinking beyond today’s technologies, including how infrastructure can be future-proofed for emerging technologies such as quantum computing
As Donna explained, the industry is effectively renovating its infrastructure — creating an opportunity to build for the technologies and realities that are coming next.
