Building the quantitative infrastructure for the next generation of institutional markets

Katia Babbar, CEO of Immersive Finance, discusses the changing demands of institutional derivatives markets and why quantitative infrastructure is becoming critical to the next generation of investment workflows.

Immersive Finance offers institutional-grade quantitative infrastructure for derivatives markets, including market data, exchange connectivity, pricing, risk and analytics. The company's platform supports front-, middle- and back-office workflows with institutional resilience, governance and transparency. During the past year, Immersive Finance helped systematic funds adapt strategies to changing market conditions, providing resilient pricing and risk infrastructure to market makers and OTC desks, and continuing innovation despite market challenges.

The most significant change in the crypto industry was its shift from a crypto-centric market to a broader digital asset ecosystem, with focus on tokenized funds, deposits, money market instruments and real-world assets. Traditional exchanges are adopting 24/7 models, and asset managers and banks are exploring on-chain infrastructure. Immersive Finance believes it's well-positioned to guide institutions through this transition.

The company is particularly proud of integrating the institutional derivatives workflow into a single quantitative platform, streamlining operations, strengthening governance and enabling sophisticated strategy deployment with confidence. As AI-assisted workflows grow, trusted quantitative infrastructure will become even more crucial for institutional decision-making.
