In this first episode of a two-part series, Ashurst’s Simon Williams is joined by Thomas Hyun, Director of Cryptocurrency Compliance at Forensic Risk, to examine how collaborations between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi) are moving from proof‑of‑concept to business as usual. They discuss current partnership models, compliance and regulatory considerations, and what to expect next. Their conclusion: it’s no longer ‘if’ but ‘when’ and ‘how’—and the pace is accelerating.
