Summary
This episode is sponsored by Circle and NEAR.
The massive web of regulations that entangle the legacy financial sector have been, in the recent past, a guidepost for governors to apply to the crypto industry. But the argument for many in the crypto community is that those same rules aren’t really applicable to crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi), especially without considerable changes.
As the industry matures and seeks more clarity concerning governance and regulation, larger questions arise for the future of crypto commerce. How do we appropriately assess risk in new systems? Should regulators impose stricter constraints on crypto’s centralized finance sector?
Who has regulatory authority over which assets and why?
Today on “Money Reimagined,” host Sheila Warren examines alternative frameworks for regulation and world banking with Jai Massari, co-founder and chief legal officer of Lightspark; and Alexandra Barrage, partner at Davis Wright Tremaine, who also previously worked at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

| 1:24.5 | multiple bills dropping in the U.S, and action elsewhere around the world, |
| 1:28.3 | regulation is more clear than it was a year ago, but that bar remains pretty low. |
| 1:33.3 | Many people in the industry are now accustomed to the idea that officially enforceable rules |
| 1:38.3 | that hold people and the services they provide to account might actually help crypto as it evolves. |
