In this week’s update we're highlighting major announcements from last week's OSFF event: our North America Community Award winners, the exciting launch of Fluxnova, CDM’s move to active project status, and the release of our 2025 State of Open Source in Financial Services report! Details below.
During last week's Open Source in Finance Forum (OSFF) in New York, we had the honor of recognizing some of the outstanding individuals making meaningful contributions and driving positive impact across the open source in financial services ecosystem.
📰 Fluxnova Launch Announcement
We’re thrilled to announce Fluxnova, a new open source orchestration platform developed under FINOS governance in collaboration with Fidelity Investments, NatWest Group, Deutsche Bank, and Capital One. Fluxnova empowers financial institutions to modernize their infrastructure, reduce vendor dependency, and build long-term industry resilience.
🌟 CDM (Common Domain Model) Becomes an Active Project
In under three years since its open-sourcing, the CDM has evolved from a collaborative proof of concept into a production-grade open standard that is helping financial institutions streamline trade processing, regulatory reporting, and data management across global markets.
