Episode 105: Crypto’s Legal Earthquake - Inside the New Rules of Crypto


Listen Later

In this episode host Jonny Fry sits down with Elsa Madrolle, General Manager for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at VerifyVASP, to explore the complex and rapidly evolving world of crypto regulation and digital assets.

Elsa shares her journey from a traditional finance background—most notably at CME Group—to becoming a leader in blockchain compliance. Their conversation delves into the significance of the FATF Travel Rule and how VerifyVASP supports virtual asset service providers in securely and compliantly exchanging sensitive information. With the rise of regulations like MiCA and DORA in the EU, Elsa explains how these frameworks are shaping the future of crypto services and what that means for institutions and startups alike.

The episode also covers the growing relevance of zero-knowledge proofs, the challenges posed by global regulatory fragmentation, and why Asia remains a hotbed for fintech innovation. Elsa highlights how digital asset tokenization is transforming traditional financial products and why global exchanges are seeking out new ways to stay compliant while maintaining user privacy.

Looking ahead to 2025, the conversation turns to the opportunities and pressures facing the digital asset space, particularly for smaller firms navigating increased compliance burdens, and the role M&A might play in reshaping the market.
