.@HamishAdourian sees the next phase of the Capital Market Revolution bringing more than new products. Smaller & micro contracts, more retail users & greater buy-side participation could broaden exchange activity, alongside more cross-border trading.

The world’s biggest gold “nugget” was so valuable they crushed it. On 19 October 1872, miners at Hill End, Australia, uncovered the 285 kg Holtermann Nugget, a mass of gold-bearing quartz. It made headlines worldwide before being crushed to extract around 93 kg of gold.

A $1,500 cartoon deal. One century later, an entertainment empire. On 16 October 1923, Walt and Roy Disney secured a deal for the Alice Comedies, launching a modest studio that became The Walt Disney Company @WaltDisneyCo

Where does the Capital Market Revolution go next? For Dr Arun Raste, it comes down to three things: 24/7 markets, more participation and greater cross-border collaboration. With work already underway in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, international cooperation is key.

Back on Market Movers: The Opening Bell with plenty to unpack. Oil supply risks, rising bond yields and an AI boom potentially distracting investors from value elsewhere. My October 12 discussion with Remy Blaire on @FINTECHTVglobal covers the forces shaping markets.

Ford had a 380% annual staff turnover problem. By the end of 1913, its automated production lines were struggling to retain workers. The solution? Double production-line wages. A century ago, automation was reshaping work—and workers were voting with their feet. Sound familiar?

When does “legacy” actually mean legacy? For exchanges, age alone isn’t the answer. @HamishAdnAuthor of Sinara urges a clear-eyed look at the technology stack: is it holding the business back, costing too much to maintain, or creating future risks? Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=mjP7rak5…

Quantum computing. Finance. And a former child chess prodigy looking under the hood. A year ago, I sat down with Hayden Van Der Post for an IPO-VID deep dive into Quantum Finance. A year on, it’s a conversation worth revisiting. Watch below. youtube.com/watch?v=gy-2cQdr…
