Trade Review
'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
