The global fintech industry finds itself experiencing a sea change. The US seems on the cusp of regulatory changes, as the Securities and Exchange Commission shifts its attitude toward digital assets under a new administration; across the pond, the EU recently introduced its new Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation to streamline the adoption of blockchain technology. With different enforcement postures worldwide, many fintech companies remain in a holding pattern to see how these developments will shape the industry. In this episode of The LathamTECH Podcast, Stephen Wink and Stuart Davis, Co-Chairs of Latham’s Fintech Industry Group, discuss the shifting crypto regulatory landscape across the US and Europe, and how tech companies can adapt to these developments.
