Description
In this comprehensive, accessible work, Ross P. Buckley, Douglas W. Arner, and Dirk A. Zetzsche offer an ideal reference for anyone seeking to understand the technological transformation of finance and the role of regulation: the world of FinTech. They consider FinTech technologies including artificial intelligence, blockchain, BigData, cloud computing, cryptocurrencies, central bank digital currencies, and distributed ledger technology, and provide a unique perspective on FinTech as an interactive system involving finance, technology, law, and regulation. Starting with an evolutionary perspective, the authors then consider the major technologies transforming finance, arguing for approaches to balance the risks and challenges of innovation. They address the central role of infrastructure in digital financial transformation, highlighting lessons from China, India, and the EU, as well as the impact of pandemics and other sustainability crises, while considering the risks generated by FinTech. They conclude by offering forward-looking regulatory strategies to address the challenges facing our world today.
Reviews / Votes
'Technological advances are rapidly changing the face of finance, and with it the challenges and opportunities confronting financial regulators. Understanding the complex, intertwined relationship between finance, technology, and regulation is no longer optional for those researching and working in these fields - it's an absolute necessity. Buckley, Arner, and Zetzsche provide a strong foundation for this understanding and, having built it, offer important insights into everything from the rise of fintech, regtech, and bigtech to the rapidly evolving worlds of AI and crypto.' Dan Awrey, Professor of Law, Cornell Law School 'This book discusses the key building blocks for building a fintech-led financial eco-system, including aspects relating to data, e-identity, artificial intelligence, and distributed ledger. A highly useful resource for any academic, policymaker, or practitioner in the area of fintech and financial regulation.' Iris H. Chiu, Professor of Corporate Law and Financial Regulation, University College London Faculty of Laws 'A valuable resource on a complex topic, especially for undergraduate business and financial law and policy programs ...
