Capital Markets Embrace Cloud For Scale
Financial institutions are accelerating large-scale migration to cloud technologies entering 2025, driven by low public-cloud adoption (5–10%) and pressures like T+1 settlement, rising trading volumes, and AI workloads. Cloud adoption promises reduced latency, elastic scaling, enhanced analytics and compliance, with firms like Nasdaq and leading banks reporting faster execution times and unified real-time data for risk and trading.
