101. Innovation & Public Policy in Blockchain Technology, with Perianne Boring

On this episode of the podcast, we talk with the founder and president of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, Perianne Boring, about the promise of blockchain technology and how regulatory actions in the financial services space will either accelerate or suffocate the next wave of tech-fueled innovation in the sector. Among the topics we discuss are the role of government here in the U.S. in fintech as compared to other countries, how public policymakers are approaching and learning about financial innovation, and why creating a friendly regulatory environment for financial innovation is one of the most important initiatives in policy today. Perianne Boring is the founder and president of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, which first opened it’s doors in July 2014. She currently oversees the Chamber’s operations and government affairs and public policy initiatives. Perianne previously worked in network broadcast news and as a Forbes contributor, after beginning her career working on Capitol Hill as a legislative analyst advising Representative Dennis Ross on finance, economics, tax, and healthcare policy.
