Traditional corporate loan markets remain constrained by siloed data, manual asset tracking, and inefficient settlement processes, but emerging technologies — including AI, shared ledgers, smart contracts and advanced APIs — are creating new opportunities for a more connected, automated asset lifecycle. This panel will examine how interoperability across execution, settlement, data and servicing platforms can transform workflows, improve efficiency and enable a more competitive market infrastructure, while exploring why lasting change requires redesigning core processes — not simply layering AI onto existing ones.
