Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 44: Fintech vs Regtech
Dan and Anthony debate the difference, or lack thereof, between firms labeled fintechs and regtechs.
Dan and Anthony discuss fintechs, regtechs and whether there is a difference between the two or if it's simply a marketing ploy (1:05). They then talk about UK day trader Navinder Singh Sarao pleading guilty to spoofing and whether the case was overblown (15:40). Dan then explains how the Consolidated Audit Trail, which gained regulatory approval this week, could alleviate some of these issues, despite having its own problems (22:10). The guys wrap things up talking about the NFL (26:05).
