This document summarizes the opportunities and challenges of the FinTech sector. It describes what FinTech is and the major trends, including the emergence of firms providing crowdfunding, virtual assets, and electronic payments. Mexico has over 2,000 FinTech firms concentrated in payments, lending, and markets. The FinTech sector benefits financial inclusion but also poses risks like money laundering that require regulation. Mexico passed a FinTech law in 2018 to regulate crowdfunding, electronic payments, and virtual assets entities while promoting innovation through a regulatory sandbox.

Comprehensive deck overviewing asset tokenization, securities regulation, blockchain, and future opportunities with digital securities. Created by Kadeem Clarke, founder of Clarke Global and former blockchain VC investor
As a recent example from Switzerland, a tighten regulatory corset was imposed on the financial market players due to financial crisis in the country. Hence we can witness a structural fundamental change in the country due to parallel digitalisation and accelerated competetion in the new technologies. This has led to an explosion of opportunities in the small business sectors. Amongst other factors, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), which enable new forms of digital transactions, offer a large potential for new business opportunities.
Wave Financial + TQ Tezos: State of Digital Securities Tom Lombardi
Wave Financial recently authored a report on the state of digital securities in conjunction with TQ Tezos - a leading institutional-grade blockchain solutions developer with a focus on security and durability across technological generations.
Digitizing securities through blockchain technology can enable cost savings, economic value creation, and risk reduction. While the digital securities ecosystem is quite nascent, early examples from financial heavyweights like Santander and Franklin Templeton indicate that the potential benefits around compliance automation and cost reduction may be the driving forces of broader adoption.
In this report, we explore the advantages of digital securities, the global regulatory landscape, current challenges hindering widespread adoption, and leading digital securities initiatives.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

SupTech
Any application or platform that makes
regulatory compliance more efficient,
through automatized processes and at
lower costs (e.g. AML/CFT).
Applications that combine digital
interfaces and algorithms, with a
set of capabilities that range from
automatic financial advice up to
personalized portfolio
management.
A set of rules that use historical
information in an iterative
manner in order to solve problems
and improve automatically
without human intervention (e.g.
credit scoring models).
FinTech applications used
by supervisory authorities
(e.g. to verify regulatory
compliance).
Platforms that connect
peers without
intermediaries
(e.g. crowdfunding).
Machine
learning
Computer systems able
to perform tasks that
would normally require
human intelligence to
be completed (e.g. fraud
detection).
A decentralized, open and safe distributed digital ledger
that is used to log and update transactions in real time
(e.g. uses: bitcoin, diamonds and real state).

Crowdfunding
Virtual Assets
E-money (Electronic payments)
– Web pages that offer a range of projects for users to lend or invest their money (without the need of an intermediary) in exchange of interest
(for debt) or dividends (for equity).
– Due to the lack of intermediaries (which reduces costs), users get higher yields than those from traditional financial intermediaries, and
borrowers pay a lower cost for funding.
– Value representation electronically registered and used by the public as a payment method for all kinds of legal acts, and whose transfer can
only take place through electronic means.
– These are issued by private developers and are not backed by a central bank or sovereign government.
– These assets are obtained, stored and exchanged online, and they can be used to make purchases of goods and services.
– Online wallet that allows deposits by cash or debit card. It can be used to make purchases of goods and services online, as well as to transfer money
electronically to others.
– In other countries it can also be used to carry out purchases in the real world through smartphones or special devices such as bracelets or rings.
Examples:

10. International regulatory experience
10
● Given the sustained and accelerated growth of the FinTech sector worldwide, and the inherent risks that this industry poses for the stability and integrity of financial
systems, several countries have regulated or are in the process of regulating the FinTech sector.
In fact, this regulation has been one of the key issues in the discussion at various international forums and organizations in which Mexico participates actively,
mainly within the Financial Stability Board of the G-20 (FSB).
Collective financing:
USA, Canada, China, Spain, Italy, France, United Kingdom and New Zealand.
Virtual assets:
Certain states within USA, and Japan.
The European Union, Australia and Canada have done so focusing on fiscal issues and money
laundering.
Electronic payments:
USA, United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil and
Kenya.

The FinTech Law was published on March 9, 2018, in the Federal Official Gazette. This Law is based on 5 governing principles (to provide more flexibility),
and secondary regulation which will be actively updated according to the sector needs. The latter, given the inherent risks that this industry poses for
financial stability and its sustained and accelerated growth.
12. Regulated
entities
These need to be authorized in order to carry out financing operations (debt, capital or co-ownership).
– Debt-financing entities must use at least one Credit Bureau.
Risks disclosure regime (e.g. project selection criteria and payment indicators).
A single project can not be funded by more than one platform.
Guaranteeing yields is prohibited.
Incentive alignment schemes will be imposed (e.g. skin in the game).
Issuance, administration and redemption of electronically registered money balances are permitted to make
payments or electronic transfers.
Operations can be carried out in Mexican pesos or virtual assets.
These can act as money transmitters.
They are able to commercialize, issue, or manage debit cards.
They are not allowed to pay yields for accumulated balances.
12
Mexico’s FinTech Law
E-money and Crowdfunding entities are able to operate with virtual assets approved by the Central Bank
of Mexico.
The Central Bank of Mexico will determine which virtual assets may be used, as well as their respective
conditions and restrictions.
Any institutions that operates with virtual assets must comply with AML/CFT regulatory framework.

● Definition: “legal space” under which a regulated activity (that needs an authorization, registry or
concession) can be carried out under a ad hoc regulatory framework during a limited time period.
Its purpose is to support innovation.
The launch of the product or service has to be carried out for a limited scope and number of
customers.
● Regulation:
Temporary licenses will be granted.
This scheme can be used by either new unauthorized firms, or established institutions (e.g.
banks).
● Definition: technological specifications used by apps to communicate with financial entities (e.g. for
information sharing, among others).
● Regulation:
Financial entities, money transmitters, clearing houses and FinTech firms must have APIs.
Clients consent will be necessary to share their information, either from a financial entity to a
FinTech firm or vice versa.
Financial entities will be allowed to charge a fee for the use of their APIs (as its development is
costly). These charges will be regulated and supervised by the relevant authority.

14. Cooperation and dynamism in the FinTech law

To keep fostering this dynamic, a Group of Financial Innovation will be created as an advisory
and consultative body, to coordinate the public and private sectors in the exchange of ideas, the
promotion of the sector’s development and to plan their future regulatory framework.
Federal Government: Central Bank of Mexico, the Ministry of Finance, the National Banking and
Securities Commission (CNBV), the National Insurance and Bonding Commission (CNSF), the
National Retirement Savings System Commission (CONSAR). Other entities may attend as guests.
Private Sector: 7 industry-related representatives.
Permanent members:
The FinTech Law’s design had been a long and an open process that required the cooperation of
participants, from both public and private sectors.

Other existing laws were amended for the correct implementation on the FinTech Law:
16. The FinTech Law establishes a general framework that mirrors the existing regulation on AML/CFT, and provides faculties to
the Ministry of Finance for sanctioning secondary rules that will guarantee:
Adequate client identification (identity theft).
Safety and privacy of information (remote account-opening regime).
Identification of final recipients.
Implementation of a risk-based approach AML methodology.
Institutional capacity building so that FinTech firms can comply with the relevant AML/CFT dispositions.
This general faculties’ regime allows the incorporation of the best practices defined by the bodies that establish international
regulations (FATF).
Given the transnational nature of these services, it is important to have a harmonized regulation and supervision framework
for these entities.
The second transitory article of the FinTech Law establishes that the Ministry of Finance has 6 months to
issue the AML/CFT General Rules.
