Podcast: Alice Hrdy and Rob Schwartz Discuss the Digital Asset and Embedded Finance Landscape, Global Relay Intelligence & Practice

Partners Alice Hrdy and Robert A. Schwartz spoke with Global Relay Intelligence & Practice in a podcast discussing developments in the digital asset and embedded finance landscape, including tokenization, evolving regulatory frameworks, and the growing role of AI in financial services.

The discussion covered emerging legislative efforts such as the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act, the expansion of tokenized assets across asset classes, and the operational and compliance challenges facing fintech companies. Alice emphasized the importance of understanding underlying technologies and managing regulatory risk as innovation accelerates, noting, “As these tech products continue to evolve, and certainly with digital assets, I think figuring out the mechanism of the actual technology that’s powering the product or service is everyone’s challenge.” Rob highlighted the pace of market developments relative to regulation, observing that “prediction markets have moved faster than the regulatory framework.”
