Regulating Financial Services in an Era of Technological Disruption presents the following source proposition: Financial regulators are challenged to respond to the innovation opportunities presented by financial technology (fintech). This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A fact based approach to regulation worked relatively well only under a specific historical condition: innovation cycles were long and disruption unfolded over decades, giving regulators time to get their facts in order before intervening. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
