Reporting on B2PRIME’s First B2MEET Gathering

B2PRIME Group, the global financial services provider for institutional and professional clients, hosted its exclusive B2MEET event in Limassol, Cyprus, on June 16, 2025.

The event involved industry experts and executives who discussed key market updates and developments in private sessions, fostering in-depth insights, peer exchange, and strategic dialogue.

Expert Insights

The gathering featured a keynote speech delivered by Azad Zangana, an independent global economist and former senior strategist at Schroders, who shed light on the dynamics between macroeconomic factors and key events.

In his speech, Azad highlighted the underwhelming performance of gold leading up to the U.S. elections and the growing disparity between macroeconomic fundamentals and actual market behavior.

Azad also discussed the rising protectionism, labor shortages, and the shifting global role of the U.S. dollar, questioning the USD’s long-term dominance in light of struggling alternatives, such as the Euro and the Chinese Yuan, constrained by liquidity issues and capital controls.

Top-Notch Panel Discussion

The event also featured a panel discussion, consisting of Azad and the B2PRIME team with John Murillo, Stuart Brock, and Fernando Wladdimiro. The panel discussed the rapid technological development in trading, emphasizing the shifting competitive edge from pricing strategies to execution speed and infrastructure. 

The experts agreed that ultra-low latency is no longer a differentiator — it’s a minimum expectation, with younger market participants demanding faster, smarter platforms with reliable performance.

Founder’s Reaction and Upcoming Events

B2PRIME’s Founder & Executive Director responded to the outcomes of the B2MEET Cyprus event and how it met its intended goal, “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.”

As the B2PRIME team reported, the B2MEET series’ next editions will take place in London and Dubai, continuing the company’s mission to unite financial experts through insight-rich, exclusive forums.
