  • Summary

  • Many opportunities and challenges are at the intersection of technology and financial services. And FinTech itself is rapidly evolving as businesses continuously innovate and new ideas come from unexpected places. At the same time, government regulators are trying to keep pace. Troy A. Paredes and Lee A. Schneider explore this disruption by engaging the leaders who are changing what FinTech is and how we think about it. In this biweekly podcast, Troy, former SEC Commissioner and founder of Paredes Strategies LLC, and Lee, general counsel at Block.one and co-founder of Genesis Block, LLC, discuss today’s –and tomorrow’s – exciting and impactful FinTech topics. With their guests, they explore business and regulatory developments and technology trends, giving listeners new perspectives to take back to Main Street, the Hill, Wall Street, and the boardroom. As a reminder, nothing in any episode is investment, legal, or any other advice of any kind, and nothing in any episode is an endorsement or recommendation of any kind.
    2017, Troy A. Paredes & Lee A. Schneider

    Troy and Lee have an engaging conversation with Kristin Smith, Executive Director of Blockchain Association, in which Kristin explains the roots of the organization, its growth, and its many initiatives.  As she discusses, the community around blockchain and crypto is dynamic and engaged, and there is a lot of participation and a lot of desire to get policy right, especially given the significant stakes.  She shares several insights on how she is working to move things in a positive direction.  We are still in early stages but things are moving fast in terms of the developments in the technology and product offerings, so things are constantly moving when trying to ensure an effective regulatory approach.  We look forward to seeing how policy and regulation develop in this brave new world.
