It is a tool for customers who are looking for both innovation and trust when they reach out for, for example, crypto assets. Furthermore, technology plays a crucial role when it comes to reducing operational costs, especially in a realm of an increasingly complex regulatory environment. The industry relies heavily on the trusted exchange of data. In this context, <strong>DeFi based concepts enable new ways for back-office operations to be executed automatically.<\/strong><\/p><p>The partnership represents a deep dive into innovative financial technology (FinTech) and the scale of the research involved is set to have a clear impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spuerkeess.lu\/fr\/particuliers\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Spuerkeess\u00a0<\/a>customers of all classifications. As highest rated financial institution in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Spuerkeess wants to set a standard in the market.\u00a0 While at the same time <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/snt\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">SnT<\/a>\u00a0has an equally strong track record in the FinTech research space with more than 20 similar partnerships, seven teams that conduct research in the field.<\/p><p><strong>The extensive collaboration will include four projects all looking into how DeFi, and the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that it is based off, can be integrated into Spuerkeess\u2019 business. Key topics include the metaverse, crypto-assets, NFTs and the mutualization of back-office operations based on DLT,<\/strong> all areas of expertise for SnT researchers.<\/p><p><i>\u201cSpuerkeess\u2019 real-world data and SnT\u2019s expertise in these cutting-edge financial technologies is a powerful combination. When scientific research is guided by real-world applications we see true impact, and this is sure to be one of those cases,\u201d<\/i> said Professor St\u00e9phane Pallage, rector of the University of Luxembourg.<\/p><p><i>\u201cSnT is enthusiastic to be embarking on a new chapter with our long-time partner Spuerkeess.
