## Resource

Welcome to our latest episode of Women in Crypto, the podcast presented by the Association for Women in Cryptocurrency and sponsored by Bracewell LLP. In this compelling episode, we dive into “SEC Enforcement, Formal Verification, and the Future of Crypto Compliance”. We’re joined by Fiona Moran, Partner in the White Collar Defense and Investigations practice at Davis Polk, and Patrick Azzopardi, founder and CEO of Dowsers. Fiona brings deep expertise in white-collar defense and regulatory investigations, while Patrick is a former investment banker leading a deep-tech firm focused on formal verification and smart contract safety. In this episode, we explore major regulatory shifts at the U.S. SEC—including moving away from "regulation by enforcement" toward traditional fraud and AML oversight—and how compliant companies are using this space to mature their compliance programs. We discuss how existing legal frameworks intersect with AI agents and autonomous code, as well as the technical realities of smart contract security, including how formal verification could prevent up to 75% of protocol hacks. The panel also dives into Europe's MiCA framework, cross-border jurisdictional challenges, and why proactive prevention must replace postmortems in Web3 security. Fiona and Patrick also share practical guidance for corporate leaders and tech teams on governing technical architecture, building programmable compliance directly into code, and engaging constructively with global regulators.
