Custody is being redefined.
At #DCFintechWeek, Michael Shaulov broke down why:
Stablecoins are unlocking wallet-enabled finance
Programmable custody can exceed legacy security
MPC and policy controls are the new institutional standard
Liquidity and compliance don’t have to be tradeoffs
This is where finance is going.
From panelists at #DCFintechWeek: DeFi can meet regulatory expectations if developers build risk controls that target outcomes, not transactions.
‣ Voices included @BIS_org, @AleoHQ, @AvaLabs.
‣ Treat compliance as risk management, not code rollback
‣ Outcome-based policy lens suggested by @BIS_org alum on the panel
‣ Tools discussed: front-end governance, sanctions-aware UX, dispute mechanisms
‣ Remaining gaps: multi-jurisdiction coverage and developer liability boundaries
Huge huge thanks to @SECGov Chair Paul Atkins, @FDICgov Acting Chair Travis Hill, and @federalreserve Board Governor Waller for joining me on stage for the first day of #DCFintechWeek 2025.
Each year, the sector’s leaders around the world--from TradFi to DeFi to AI--bring their best ideas, questions, and visions for what’s next. The conference has grown over the last 8 years, as has the conversation.
In years past, the notes from our regulators often reflected caution, introspection, and the weight of lessons learned. This year, however, there was a new focus—a shared conviction that whether it be the long decline in IPOs or the years long decline in new banks, energy and focus must be brought to bear on reigniting capital and economic activity. And that technology, paired with enabling regulation, can help us get there.
There was, remarkably, also a very clear-eyed recognition that the road ahead would not always be smooth. Legacy firms will be disrupted. Some technologies will falter. Rules may not always keep pace. Yet amid the realism was something just as powerful—a unified belief that the cost of inaction is certain: less innovation, less investment, less access to capital, and slower growth.
The take was a reminder that even for regulators, building the future of finance is not about avoiding risk, but about meeting it with courage, collaboration, and creativity. Time will tell how that optimism fares in a world of economic change, but hopefully its core spirit—of openness, innovation, and ambition—finds a lasting home in our regulatory DNA.
Highlight From #Finchella
Blockchain Foundation Executive Director @cmesi closed out #DCFintechWeek at a luncheon roundtable hosted by @fintechthinksdc & @apcoworldwide. @ChrisBrummerDr & Jeff Zelkowitz led the discussion about “Borderless Technology in a Fragmented World.”
The Future of Money, a private salon hosted by the @MilkenInstitute FinTech Program, was a standout satellite event at #DCFintechWeek.
A timely discussion on how digital assets and stablecoins are reshaping markets, regulation, and participation in the global financial system.
I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT something I learned during #dcfintechweek: the Biden/Warren crew had a *strategy* of telling #crypto companies to get regulated solely as a means to gain information they could use to kill us with prosecutions, defamatory denials & enforcement actions. FOLKS, IT WAS DONE DELIBERATELY & IT WAS PLANNED😡. The social contract between the govt & the governed breaks down when the govt weaponizes regulation to entrap people who operate within the law, albeit differently than incumbents. Separately but related, I also received two independent confirmations while in DC that the DOJ has opened an investigation into #debanking. I'm glad, and hope @pmarca is glad too. It's time for *REAL* accountability.🙏
Really enjoyed moderating this panel about memecoins at #DCFintechWeek. Panelists Christina Rolle, Saumya Manohar, @OTCMarketsGC and Johnny Reinsch all had such amazing insight as we discussed regulation, last week's market crash and trends among memecoins and meme stocks.
Another #DCFintechWeek in the books!! A room full of great people and meaningful conversations.
Big thanks to @ChrisBrummerDr, the team, and all the partners who made it happen.
Spotted at the @chainlink @OndoFinance #DCFintechWeek Networking Reception in DC at The Ned: Crypto leaders @nilminirubin, @CFTCjohnson, @cmesi, @SocialGoodBiz 🔥
"Tokenization isn't all or nothing."
CEO @e_woodford shares how real-world asset tokenization depends on when in an asset's lifecycle tokenization adds value, not just whether it can.
