Description

Over the last years, the convergence of financial services and technology industry has resulted in the emerging of new players, which have expanded their horizons all over the world. This 
has been a great opportunity to open financial markets to new players and for traditional credit entities that were forced to adapt to FinTech in their line of business. Around the world, the legal response to this matter has been diverse, although we could still trace certain similarities. 
In this panel, we will go through the legal framework that rules the FinTech industry in the different continents, analysing how governments have taken proactive and/or reactive regulatory approaches encompassing and/or decoupling banks, financial institutions, and technology businesses; particularly, regarding crypto assets, service/payment providers, digital wallets and open banking.
