Episode 50: Liam Smith, UK Chief Operating Officer at 26 Degrees Global Markets
Institutional liquidity has spent years being sold on the same promises: tighter spreads, deeper pools, faster execution, and broader market access.
According to Liam Smith (https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-smith-1st/), UK Chief Operating Officer at 26 Degrees Global Markets (https://www.26degreesglobalmarkets.com/) those differentiators are no longer enough on their own. As access to liquidity has become increasingly commoditized, the real competitive advantage has shifted elsewhere, toward execution intelligence, operational resilience, and a deeper understanding ofhow order flow behaves in increasingly volatile markets.
Speaking with FinanceFeeds Editor-in-Chief Nikolai Isayev on the latest FinanceFeeds Podcast, Smith argued that brokers have reached a point where simply comparing spreads is no longer enough to evaluate a liquidity provider. Instead, firmsare placing greater emphasis on execution quality, quote stability, routing intelligence, credit facilities, and a provider's ability to remain dependable when markets become stressed.
The discussion explored how January's market turmoil exposed weaknesses in parts of the Prime of Prime market, why retail broker dealing desks are becoming significantly more sophisticated, and why liquidity providers competing purely on price risk are becoming irrelevant.

Episode 49: Veljko Jelić - Founder & CEO at Chainberry
For many FX and CFD brokers, enabling crypto payments appears to be little more than generating a wallet address and allowing clients to deposit digital assets.
According to Chainberry (https://www.chainberry.com/) Founder and CEO Veljko Jelić (https://www.linkedin.com/in/veljko-jelic/), that assumption overlooks the operational complexity that emerges once businesses begin processing crypto at scale.
Speaking with FinanceFeeds Editor-in-Chief Nikolai Isayev on the latest FinanceFeeds Podcast, Jelić explained why enterprise crypto infrastructure extends far beyond wallets, arguing that automation, compliance, treasury management, and stablecoin settlements are becoming essential building blocks for brokers, payment service providers, and fintech firms embracing digital assets.

Episode 48: Ruben Abitbol - Founder & CEO of RUBIK Prop Firm Consulting
The proprietary trading industry was built around a simple promise: identify talented traders, give them access to capital, and share in the upside. Ruben Abitbol (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rubenabitbol/), Founder and CEO of RUBIK Prop Firm Consulting (https://www.rubikpropfirm.com/), says that original model has been heavily distorted. In the latest FinanceFeeds Podcast, Abitbol argued that many prop firms have drifted from talent discovery into challenge-selling, creating an industry where risk management, trader behaviour, and evaluation design now matter more than marketing spend or headline funding amounts.
