RegFi Episode 100: Innovation, Regulation and What Lies Ahead
29 min listen
Marking RegFi’s 100th episode, co-hosts Jerry Buckley, Sasha Leonhardt, Sherry Safchuk, and Caroline Stapleton revisit the thesis on which they launched the podcast in October 2023: that financial regulation, driven by technology, will change more in the next 10 years than it has over the previous 50.
When RegFi launched, generative AI was less than a year old, agentic AI was still on the horizon, the GENIUS Act had yet to be written, prediction markets were in their infancy, state privacy legislation was still evolving, the Section 1033 rule had not yet been proposed, and the CFPB itself was a very different agency than it is today. Reflecting on the rapid developments of the past two and a half years, the pace of change is only accelerating — requiring regulators to embrace new technology-enabled approaches in a world where agentic AI may transform the delivery of financial services, quantum computing is drawing nearer, data security and fraud threats are intensifying, and new entrants continue to reshape the financial services marketplace.
