RegFi hosts Jerry Buckley and Sasha Leonhardt welcome Tom Brown, Partner and General Counsel at Nyca Partners, a venture capital firm specializing in fintechs. Tom provides a critical analysis of the current financial services regulatory environment and offers an insider’s perspective on other pressing issues and opportunities in the fintech marketplace.
The discussion explores the regulatory challenges fintech companies face today, particularly the fragmented state-by-state regulatory framework in the U.S. Tom advocates for a more unified, passporting regime similar to Europe, which could streamline operations and foster innovation. The conversation also touches on the complexities of navigating banking partnerships, the potential for a more principle-based regulatory approach, and policy considerations surrounding the adoption of a U.S. digital currency.
