TheCUBE made history this week at the New York Stock Exchange with the launch of theCUBE NYSE studio, a cutting-edge space that cements its position as a trailblazer in independent media.
On the latest episode of theCUBE Podcast, theCUBE Research industry analysts John Furrier (pictured, third from right) and Dave Vellante discussed the NYSE media network and what comes next. As part of the event, Furrier joined industry leaders in ringing the closing bell, a moment that highlighted the deeper integration of media within the NYSE ecosystem. At the heart of this development is theCUBE’s dedicated studio, a move Furrier described as a key step in bringing more stories to the forefront of the financial and technology sectors.
“Stories are made here at the New York Stock Exchange,” Furrier said. “The venue’s phenomenal, and they get media participation because they want to open up the NYSE network. All the prestige and tradition over 200 years is here, and they want to bring that to the media and share.”
TheCUBE NYSE studio: Expanding independent media’s presence at the exchange
The launch of theCUBE’s new studio at the NYSE represents a significant expansion of its footprint in media broadcasting. TheCUBE now has the second-largest independent media presence on the NYSE show floor, trailing only CNBC, Furrier noted, emphasizing the importance of this move.
“ News and theCUBE has risen the brand to mainstream,” he said. “[We have a] commitment to tech coverage and a deep-dive podcast style, but … now it’s mainstream. It’s being recognized by the community. And our footprint here is just going to continue that mission.”
The significance of theCUBE’s presence at the NYSE was further highlighted by a large-scale Media Day event hosted by the exchange. More than 200 media leaders attended, including representatives from Time Magazine, Reddit, Axios, The Information, USA Today and FinTech TV. Furrier and Vellante were featured in a keynote alongside NYSE Wired founder Brian Baumann and NYSE Group President Lynn Martin, discussing the transformative role of media in today’s digital-first world.
“NYSE under Lynn Martin is clearly transforming the brand into a modern era where the prestige and tradition of theCUBE is now a transformative brand,” Furrier said. “And they’re opening it up to the community of media providers and creators.”
This collaboration signals a shift in how financial institutions and media organizations interact, creating an ecosystem where stories can be told in real time, directly from the NYSE floor.
The future of media and market disruption
The media landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by emerging technologies, artificial intelligence and blockchain innovations. The impact of AI on content creation and distribution was a key focus during this week’s theCUBE Podcast, with Furrier predicting a significant rise in AI-generated content.
“The market has shifted. People want content,” Furrier said. “I think there’s going to be an AI-generated content boom. People are going to have fatigue … there’s going to be a flooding of content.”
The discussion also touched on the role of cryptocurrency and blockchain in shaping financial markets. Dan Tapiero, founder of DTAP Capital LLC, a prominent investor in the crypto space, believes that bitcoin’s market capitalization could surge from its current $2 trillion to $20 trillion, according to Furrier.
As digital finance continues to grow, Furrier and Vellante highlighted the intersection of culture and capitalism at the NYSE. The exchange’s commitment to integrating new media perspectives into its platform is part of a broader transformation in how financial news is produced and consumed.
“The NYSE has been the intersection of culture and capitalism in their history,” Furrier noted. “Prestigious, traditional blue-chip brands are transforming into disruptive enablers with content by just leveraging the relationships that they already have and the stories that are developing in real time, all the time.”
The evolution of corporate events in a hybrid world
The conversation also addressed broader industry trends, including the changing nature of corporate events and hybrid work environments. Companies are shifting their strategies for physical events, opting for smaller, high-impact gatherings that balance in-person networking with digital engagement.
“You see a bifurcated [approach to] physical events. Some are still going for it, while others have dialed down and realized they can spend less,” Vellante said.
Furrier agreed, adding, “If you have a hybrid model, the face-to-face event is not only a relationship-building event, but also a communal festival get together.”
TheCUBE’s presence at the NYSE positions it at the heart of these industry shifts, providing a platform where emerging trends in finance, technology and media can converge. With its new studio, theCUBE is set to continue its mission of delivering in-depth analysis and real-time coverage from one of the world’s most influential financial institutions.
As Furrier summed up, “It’s a super smart move, and we’re super proud to be part of the founding NYSE Wired team, powering the Wired team. The market is shifting, and we’re at the center of that transformation.”
