Crypto-assets and crowdfunding: The Global perspective

The emergence of FinTech has opened up participation of investing, payment and lending activities to large sections of society. These participatory and distributed models of financial services are opening up new pools of capital. They are creating competition with traditional financial services but we are also seeing increasing collaboration in this space.

What are the opportunities and risks for investors? How should regulators and supervisors respond? Are these forms of investment still nascent or are they becoming mainstream? What impact has there been from the creation of ICO derivative markets, central banks experimenting with virtual currencies and asset managers exploring these new asset classes?

We have seen many different international responses, including regulation, industry codes and best practice exchange? What solutions are best? How do we ensure international consistency of rules and how can these rules be enforced at a global level?

Fireside chat – Is Europe able and willing to innovate?

The EU aims to become a lead player in new technologies on the world stage. However, especially in the technology sector new proposals take years to pass through the EU legislative process that they risk becoming outdated by the time they enter into force. Digital skills and access to data are two of the key ingredients for the development of new technologies. Is the EU able to innovate in time to become a major global player? Are Member States willing to take steps to allow the EU to advance a common innovation policy if this means ceding certain decision-making powers? What do the high profile anti-trust cases in the EU tell us about Europe’s ability to compete internationally?

Are the EU’s stringent data privacy policies compatible with the development of new technologies based on large amounts of data? Japan and the EU have taken the important step of including data transfers into their Free Trade arrangements.

Is this a model to respond to the increasing tend towards national data localisation? How will the fragmentation of data impact the development of big data solutions and the growth of FinTech? Will it hinder the industry from scaling up? What is the right balance between ownership and use of data?
