[View in browser]( [Register now to attend]( Dear {EMAIL},,, Ignore. Duck. Code. [According]( to economics professor, Marlene Amstad, regulators have three options when it comes to regulating fintechs. One, they can simply choose to ignore it, or at least, leave it largely unregulated. However, this isn't sustainable. Choosing to not regulate fintechs will lead to nothing but chaos. So, if you're a fintech company, that prospect shouldn't excite you; it should scare you. On the other hand, there's the option of duck-typing. This simply means checking for compatibility with existing regulation, typically focusing on either the fintech's economic function or its underlying risk. It's based on the duck test that says, “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.” But duck-typing only works if fintech operates the same way as traditional finance, and we both know it does not. But then, they could code it. This means using regulations that are specifically tailored to the new functionality or technology. This may seem like the way to go, but regulators often struggle with keeping up with the speed of innovation. So, what's the way forward? Truth be told, we don't know. But this Friday at 11 a.m., we'll be speaking with people who can give us answers on how to align fintech and regulation.
