Episode 15: Insights from Lighthouse

We interview special guest senior user experience (UX) designer Dan Burgess from leading UX/UI design agency Lighthouse about how you can avoid, and use, UX "patterns" to meet the FCA's Consumer Duty expectations.

UX "patterns" are a powerful tool for you in meeting the FCA's expectation that firms account for customers' cognitive and behavioural biases that may compromise their financial decision-making.

You may have heard about nudges, sludge and friction. But we go further.  You'll discover five key categories of "dark patterns" from least to most dark and understand how financial services firms can spot and avoid them.

You'll learn how to flip dark patterns on their heads - creating "light patterns" that you can use to support good outcomes for your customers.

Return of the “Ugly Baby” // Fintech

Episode 5: Crypto Facto with Josh and Jonathan

In this episode, Josh and Jonathan weigh in on the SEC’s charges against Bittrex, Gary Gensler’s House hearings, the reintroduction of a federal stablecoin bill, MiCA’s passage, Yuga Lab’s trademark victory, and Taylor Swift’s good sense about FTX.

Did Gensler change his mind about proof of work and Algo, or is the SEC throwing tokens at the wall until a case against Coinbase sticks? Why wouldn’t Gensler tell the House if Ether is a security or not? Does the very same stablecoin bill that was dubbed an “ugly baby” last September have any chance at succeeding now? Will the EU’s passing of MiCA lure crypto business away from the US and UK? In the absence of federal legislation in the US, will the courts become the real regulators of digital assets?

Choke Point or Turning Point? // Fintech

Episode 4: Crypto Facto with Josh and Jonathan

In this episode, Josh and Jonathan discuss The New York Times' scathing article against crypto mining — and Riot’s compelling rebuttal, Ethereum’s Shanghai/Capella upgrade, the Treasury's DeFi Illicit Finance Risk Assessment, a California federal court’s bZx DAO ruling recognizing the existence of a general partnership and a negligence theory of liability, and the new report detailing FTX's mismanagement. Does crypto mining really have an outsized burden on the environment and energy consumers? Is the U.S. government, potentially with help from the media, effectively banning crypto in an organized effort, dubbed "Operation Choke Point 2.0"? What will happen to the price and regulation of Ethereum now that people are able to withdraw the ETH they've staked? Would the implementation of illicit finance checks be a death knell for DeFi? Can DAOs really protect themselves from liability? How did FTX get so big without basic business policies and procedures in place? Listen to Josh and Jonathan's hot takes now.

Will the SEC and DOJ pile onto Binance next? Are VCs enforcement targets? Can DAOs avoid the liability they were designed to circumvent? Listen now for Josh and Jonathan’s hot takes.
