Wait 5 sec.

B2MEET is an exclusive forum that brings together market experts and executives for closed-door discussions.Unlike traditional channels, B2MEET promotes actionable insights and prioritises depth over visibility.Earlier in June 2025, B2PRIME, a global Prime-of-Prime multi-asset liquidity provider, announced a new, exclusive meetings series, B2MEET, aiming to focus on meaningful discussions over publicity.On June 16, 2025, the first B2MEET event took place in Limassol, Cyprus. The gathering brought together industry professionals and market experts, who provided crucial insights into key market events and the latest advancements in the financial markets.Expert Keynote SpeechThe event hosted Azad Zangana, an independent global economist and former senior strategist at Schroders, for a keynote speech. Azad offered a masterclass in understanding key macroeconomic dynamics and relations with economic events, especially with his take on gold as a top trade ahead of the US elections.Azad highlighted the gold’s surprising underperformance in November despite the positive market expectations, underlining the gap between macro fundamentals and actual investor behaviour.His speech addressed the rising protectionism, labour inefficiencies, and the changing role of the US dollar, pointing out that while the USD remains globally dominant, its long-term status is questionable.Panel Discussion with B2PRIME ManagersAnother highlight of the event was the panel discussion, where Azad shared the floor with members of the B2PRIME team, including John Murillo, Stuart Brock, and Fernando Wladdimir. The collective discussed the growing tech race in trading and the shift from pricing strategies to execution speed as a competitive edge.The experts discussed how ultra-low latency has become a baseline expectation rather than just a differentiator, especially as younger-generation traders demand smarter platforms and faster performance.Final Thoughts: B2MEET Future EventsThe first B2MEET gathering translated B2PRIME’s vision behind these closed-door meetings. “Conversations like these are what B2MEET is all about,” said Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder & Executive Director of B2PRIME Group. “We believe in creating spaces where professionals can speak freely about what truly matters — spaces that are exclusive not because of who attends, but because of the intellectual value shared.”B2PRIME’s team communicated their intention to keep the momentum of the successful Cyprus event, with plans for the next editions in London and Dubai.This article is neither produced by nor contributed to by any editorial team member of Finance Magnates, nor does it necessarily reflect the views of the editors from Finance Magnates.This article was written by FM Contributors at www.financemagnates.com.
