Sectors
Financial Services & Fintech.
Payments, market infrastructure, insurance, and banking technology — the sector where disruptive technology meets the most regulated incumbents, and where the firm's dual fluency is worth the most. GDA has advised regulated financial businesses standing up digital instruments as separate value lines, structured to institutional standard.
The Regulated Financial Institution mandate documented in the firm's case studies is this sector's evidence; the client is not named at its request.
