Rethinking Financial Crime Compliance to Combat Fentanyl Money Flows

The U.S. government has taken unprecedented steps to fight fentanyl trafficking, even designating Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. What does this mean for banks, fintechs, and compliance teams across the Americas? Alberto de la  Portilla explores these questions with guest Brett Manwaring, who has led multi-year AML monitoring engagements, guided institutions through Federal Reserve consent orders, and validated financial technology systems. As Head of Advisory and Technology Services at Sigma 360, Brett explains how financial institutions can move beyond surface-level monitoring to embrace targeted, intelligence-driven approaches.  Tune in for practical strategies to build stronger defenses against cartel-financed fentanyl trafficking.

The Transformative Power of Stablecoins

In our latest episode featuring Andy Warner, VP of Partnership and Strategy at Transak, we dive into stablecoins, how new regulations in the U.S. such as the GENIUS Act, which was recently signed into law, and the CLARITY Act, are potential catalysts to unleash greater institutional adoption and market transparency. We discuss why he thinks stablecoins enhance the features of the US dollar and why putting the US dollar on the blockchain will lead to dollar sovereignty and reaffirm it as the world’s reserve currency . We also discuss why companies such as Amazon, Walmart, and JP Morgan are developing their own stablecoins and why he thinks once large institutional players enter the crypto ecosystem, the rate of acceleration in stablecoin adoption will be subject to a snowball effect, and how stablecoin has unlimited potential to amplify financial inclusion. The episode concludes on a musical note with a discussion on the influential careers of Argentine rock artists like Soda Estereo and Charly Garcia.
