While organizations continue to experiment and invest in emerging fintech, many firms have come to the conclusion that innovation is only beneficial when the end result equates to stronger and safer markets.

A key theme for 2020 will be how the financial industry continues to progress with combining proven, stable infrastructures with new technologies, and how those projects scale for adoption in high-volume, highly-regulated markets.

The optimal solution isn't always the newest technology. In many cases, enhancing existing infrastructures delivers better results. For example, when accelerating settlement to T+2 in the US, the underlying infrastructure wasn't changed; but processes were updated, which led to a highly successful outcome.
