In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne unpack the latest developments in financial crime compliance. They discuss the U.S. Court of Appeals decision upholding the Corporate Transparency Act, new guidance from France's TracFin on detecting shell companies, and FATF's mutual evaluation of Belgium under its updated regime. The conversation also covers global civic space concerns, major enforcement actions in the U.S. and UK, IRS-CI's annual report highlights, and the OCC's conditional approval of crypto trust charters. Plus, breaking news on sanctions and fentanyl designations.
For years, crypto traders have lived and died by the halving clock. Boom. Bust. Rinse. Repeat.But what if that old rhythm doesn’t work anymore? In Episode 798 of The Bad Crypto Podcast, Joel and Travis make the case that Bitcoin has officially graduated from “speculative science experiment” to institutional-grade asset class — and that changes everything. We break down why this cycle looks nothing like the last ones, including: • Why banks that mocked crypto are now quietly building custody, trading, and ETF pipelines• How public companies, governments, and ETFs are soaking up Bitcoin supply• Why institutional buying is far “stickier” than retail panic selling• How regulation shifts (OCC, FDIC, Fed guidance) removed the biggest barriers between banks and Bitcoin• Why the classic 80% crash may no longer be the default outcome• What January and February could reveal about whether the cycle is truly broken• Why Gen Z asking for crypto for Christmas might be the most bullish signal of all We also dig into adoption curves, Bitcoin treasuries, ETF inflows, government holdings, and the uncomfortable reality that the market may have changed the rules while many traders are still playing the old game. If you’re waiting for the “inevitable crash” so you can say “told you so”…you might want to listen first. Because Bitcoin doesn’t look like it’s leaving.It looks like it’s settling in.
As the year comes to a close, the OCC approved five crypto-related firms for new charters, a move that could have big consequences for the banking industry writ large. Ian Katz, managing partner at Capital Alpha Partners, discusses why the approvals happened, what they mean, and why banks may sue. He also tackles the other big issues of 2026 - M&A, housing, and deregulation - and makes predictions on the future of the Fed.

In today’s BlockHash Morning Brief, we break down fresh signals from the SEC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) pointing toward a more coordinated U.S. framework for crypto, banking, and digital asset infrastructure. While not deregulation, this shift toward standardization could unlock institutional participation and reduce long-standing uncertainty. We also dive into the AI profit debate now dominating Wall Street. After weeks of volatility, analysts and tech leaders are reframing AI as a long-term infrastructure investment rather than a short-term earnings driver. That recalibration is forcing markets to reprice risk across tech, crypto, and emerging innovation. Plus, we explore how AI governance, safety standards, and chip strategy are becoming central policy priorities in Washington — signaling that AI is now being treated as critical infrastructure, not just software. In this episode:• What SEC & OCC alignment means for U.S. crypto markets• Why regulatory clarity matters more than “friendly” rules• The AI profit reality check hitting tech stocks• How markets are repricing risk across equities and crypto• Why crypto continues to trade like a high-beta tech asset• What builders and investors should watch next (0:00) Intro(0:18) SEC & OCC coordinating on Crypto(1:31) AI leaders push back on profit panic(2:25) AI regulation is trending(3:05) Macro & equities snapshot(3:44) Crypto & emerging tech market(5:24) What to watch for this week

Nubank co-founder Cristina Junquiera joins the podcast to discuss one of fintech's most remarkable success stories, from a Brazilian startup that had customers begging to get off the waitlist to a publicly traded company serving 127 million customers and reaching 60% of Brazilian adults.In this wide-ranging conversation, Cristina shares the origin story of how three founders from different countries came together to fight complexity in financial services, the challenges of conducting simultaneous IPOs in New York and Sao Paulo to give their customers access, and lessons from expanding into Mexico and Colombia. Most notably, she reveals why Nubank chose the massive US market as their fourth country, detailing their de novo bank charter application with the OCC and her relocation to Miami to lead the charge. Cristina also discusses Nubank's approach to digital assets, their partnership with OpenAI, and why she believes there's far more ahead for the company than behind it.In this podcast you will learn:How Cristina's time at Brazil's largest bank prepared her for Nubank.How she met David Velez, the CEO and co-founder.What she saw was missing in the Brazilian market.When they realized that they were on to something special with Nubank.What they had to change when they expanded into Brazil.How consumers use credit cards different from Brazil to Mexico and Colombia.Why they took on the added complexity and cost of allowing their retail customers to participate in their IPO.How becoming a public company has impacted their mission.With 60% of adults in Brazil, how Nubank can still grow in their home market.When they decided that the U.S. was going to be in their expansion plans.What they see as the opportunity for Nubank in the U.S.Why they decided to file a de novo bank charter application rather than acquire a bank.Nubank's approach to digital assets.How they are partnering with OpenAI and their approach to AI in general.What Cris is most excited about for this new chapter for Nubank.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

October 2025 shook the crypto world. Bitcoin crashed harder than any October since 2015, someone accidentally minted $300 trillion in stablecoins, and traditional banks started an all-out war against crypto companies trying to get federal charters. Tedd Huff, founder of Fintech Confidential and CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre, sits down with Rob Musiala, partner at Baker Hostetler who co-leads The Blockchain Monitor, to break down what moved Web3 when it mattered most. They walk through why stablecoins just crushed major card networks with $2.6 trillion in annual volume, how Western Union suddenly decided blockchain payments make sense, and what the Genius Act really means for everyone trying to operate in this space. This isn't theory. Banks are fighting to protect their turf while crypto infrastructure gets bought up for billions. The conversation covers enforcement crackdowns, court rulings that actually matter, regulatory battles over OCC charters, and why sitting this one out stopped being an option months ago. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1️⃣ Financial institutions must evaluate make-or-buy decisions on stablecoin infrastructure before competitors capture market share as platforms offering blockchain-based payments already process volumes exceeding major card networks. 2️⃣ Developers building on Ethereum layer-2 solutions can expect 30-60% lower transaction fees after Fusaka activates December 3rd, allowing projects to adjust pricing models or capture improved margins. 3️⃣ Stablecoin issuers, custodians, payment facilitators, and exchanges face different compliance requirements based on their specific business models under the Genius Act framework. 4️⃣ Retail investors and traders experienced 60-80% losses across major meme coins during October, while newcomers like Mini U and MemeCore surged during the same downturn. 5️⃣ Businesses operating cross-border payments between Japan and international markets gain new infrastructure as institutions push toward 10 trillion yen stablecoin circulation targets.

The former bank regulator who invented deposit networks just revealed why SVB's collapse was inevitable—and why the solution that could have saved them is finally being rebuilt. Gene Ludwig ran the OCC during the Clinton administration, created a half-trillion-dollar market solving a problem his Aunt Betty faced riding buses between banks, then watched his invention fail to save Silicon Valley Bank because the technology, economics, and incentives were fundamentally broken. Now he's partnered with Paolo and ModernFi to build what could become America's eighth systemically important financial utility: a bank-owned consortium that's signing 25 institutions per week and racing to protect the 4.8 trillion in uninsured deposits that make the next crisis inevitable.

Crypto News: Has Bitcoin and Altcoins entered a bear market? OCC says banks can hold crypto to pay blockchain network fees. Senator Tim Scott says crypto market structure bill will pass in early 2026. Brought to you by
In this episode, Wharton FinTech's Abhi Chadha sits down with Michele Alt, Co-Founder of The Klaros Group and former OCC regulator, to unpack the evolving relationship between fintechs and the U.S. banking system. Michele shares her insights from two decades at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and her current work helping non-banks pursue bank charters. They discuss the shifting regulatory climate across administrations - from the OCC's early fintech charter attempts, to the Biden-era freeze, and now a renewed openness under Trump 2.0. Michele explains the nuances of charter types like industrial loan companies (ILCs) and national trust banks. The conversation explores: - The history and future of fintech chartering - Differences among OCC, FDIC, and Fed oversight - How U.S. fintech regulation compares to Europe and the U.K. - Challenges foreign fintechs face when entering the U.S. market - How Michele's OCC experience helps startups navigate complex regulatory processes Michele also shares her perspective on the cyclical nature of financial regulation - from deregulatory “sugar highs” to inevitable crackdowns - and offers advice for those eager to build a career in fintech regulation and compliance.

Send us a textA road racer with big engine and bigger grit, Makena Morley decided to test the mountains—and then turned a curious experiment into a statement season. We go all the way back to Maui and Montana, through a high-pressure collegiate career at Colorado, and into the realities of turning pro during Covid. Then the pivot: why ASICS' support opened the door to trails, how Bozeman and Montana State became her training backbone, and what it took to blend threshold speed with the chaos of technical terrain.Makena breaks down the moment Kodiak nearly unraveled—a missed turn, minutes lost, and a mental reset from chasing time to hunting the win. She explains how trail pacing lives in effort, not pace; how VKs mimic the misery of a 5K at altitude; and why nutrition and hydration need to be tighter once you're racing beyond marathon duration. We talk SIS gels, Skratch Superfuel, cramp control, and keeping heart rate near low threshold to ride the up-down rhythm without detonating. She also shares self-coaching insights: writing four-month blocks, moving workouts when the body says no, and using heart rate as a guardrail rather than a governor.Looking forward, we map a smart, exciting calendar: half marathons to sharpen, runnable 50Ks like Canyons to leverage road speed, and a technical progression toward OCC in Chamonix. Golden Trail and Cirque Series sit on the radar as skill-building playgrounds, tempered by timing and travel.

What helped you persevere?Pray for the Unreached: The Pipipa in BrazilHidden deep within Brazil, the Pipipa people cling tightly to their spirit-based traditions, viewing any new faith as a threat to their identity. Protected from outsiders, they remain cut off from the hope of Christ. Yet some live beyond their homeland—within reach of Brazil's vibrant church. Pray that God will raise up believers to connect with them, that Pipipa elders would encounter the living Christ, and that a movement of faith would spread through their people and beyond.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 11/02 33,119Giving For 11/09 38,172YTD Budget 657,692Giving 618,937 OVER/(UNDER) (38,755)Operation Christmas Child National Collection Week is Here!

Forgiveness, Resurrection, and Life1 Corinthians 15Message Slides For The bulletin in PDF form, click here. I believe in . . . the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen.HOME CHURCH QUESTIONS1. As we conclude our study through the Apostles' Creed, what has been a key takeaway you have found helpful? Has your view of creeds changed? Are there any new ways you have used the creed or plan to use the creed? 2. We believe in the forgiveness of sins (see 1 Cor 15:3 & 17). To experience forgiveness of sins, we have to be able to recognize our sin. What are some examples of how people ignore or downplay their sins? What are some examples of ways you ignore or downplay your sins? Why is it important we rightly understand our sin? 3. We talked about learning how to “show yourself the receipt” to be reminded there is forgiveness of sin. What are some ways you show yourself the receipt, and when have you needed to do this? What are some key verses we can use to remind ourselves of God's forgiveness? 4. We believe in the resurrection of the body. What passage stands out to you from 1 Cor 15 that addresses our future resurrection? Explain the passage. 5. What do you look forward to most about your resurrected, glorified body? Why is it important we think rightly about this future resurrection? 6. We believe in life everlasting. If someone were to ask you what eternal life in heaven will be like, how would you answer? How would you respond to someone who is concerned heaven will be missing something we are able to enjoy in this life? Are you concerned about this? 7. One day death will be defeated (see 1 Cor 15:26, 54-57). How should this truth impact the way we live now (see v.58)? In what specific area of your life should you live differently since we know death will be destroyed by Christ?Mission Highlight - The Sansi in India The Sansi people of northern India still bear the weight of a centuries-old stigma from when they were branded as criminals under British rule. Many live in poverty and isolation, mistrustful of outsiders and unaware of the gospel. With low literacy and few resources, they struggle to survive day to day. Pray that believers would reach them with compassion and that the love of Christ would break the walls of shame and rejection that have bound them for generations.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 10/26 38,172Giving For 11/02 33,119YTD Budget 623,077Giving 568,275 OVER/(UNDER) (54,802) Operation Christmas Child Collection Week is Almost Here!We are excited about your involvement as we work toward our goal of 8,200 boxes!

Her story is deeply moving, a real glimpse into how God can use simple acts of generosity to open hearts and change lives.We talk about how something as small as a toothbrush or a stuffed animal can become a doorway to the Gospel, and how serving together as a family can shape your kids' hearts for compassion and mission.Here are a few things you'll hear in this episode:The moment a shoebox revealed God's love to a young girl in RomaniaHow small acts of service can create a ripple effect in a child's lifeWhy participating in Operation Christmas Child builds a global perspective in our kidsPractical tips for turning shoebox packing into a fun, meaningful family traditionIzabella grew up in Romania and now works with Samaritan's Purse as a speaker and ambassador for Operation Christmas Child. After receiving a shoebox as a child, she now helps share the Gospel and invite others into the mission of reaching children around the world with hope and joy. Her story is a beautiful reminder of how God uses people, and shoeboxes, to write redemption stories.Grateful for this conversation and praying it inspires you and your family to serve together in new ways.With Love,Steph(00:00) Introduction to Operation Christmas Child(02:50) Izabella's Childhood in Romania(06:08) Discovering Faith in a Communist Regime(09:11) The Impact of a Shoebox Gift(11:50) The Journey of Faith and Prayer(15:00) The Power of Prayer and God's Timing(18:05) The Role of Discipleship in OCC(20:59) Izabella's Path to Working with OCC(24:03) Packing Shoeboxes as a Family(27:08) How to Pack a Shoebox(30:03) The Importance of Generosity and Service(33:09) Conclusion and Call to ActionResources MentionedOperation Christmas ChildGift SuggestionsYear-round packing ideasChristian Parenting Christmas Gift GuidePrefer video?
