Call for Contributions

FinTech, which refers to the use of novel technologies, such as blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, to design, deliver and optimize financial services, refers to a broad variety of technological interventions within digital finance. Such technological interventions can be applied within 1) private finance such as P2P payment platforms, money remittances, saving accounts, P2P lending platforms, alternative credit scoring, 2) commercial finance such as crowdfunding, WealthTech, PropTech, security trading without human intervention, and 3) operational backbone of traditional financial institutions such as clearing and settlement.

Blockchain/DLT technologies challenge prevailing myths concerning supremacy of centralised computing architectures and offer new opportunities for developing radically new digital financial services. At the same time, the new technology architecture has been criticized as being ‘unnecessary’ or ‘unfit’ to deal with real issues in finance and beyond. Blockchain-based applications in the financial service area include, for example, cryptocurrencies, cross-border payments, underlying blockchain technology architecture (DLT, including Ethereum), smart contracts, and others.

TOPICS

Topics for this track include, but are not limited to the following:

* Novel approaches to development of blockchain applications * Blockchain and other open platform technologies, such as Ethereum, Hyperledger and Corda * Blockchain platform governance and standards * Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Libra) and ICOs * Stable coins and central bank backed digital currencies (CBDC) * Combining traditional database approaches and blockchains * Emergent payment (e.g., B2B, cross-border) platforms based on blockchain * Innovation in Capital Markets (Trading, Crowdfunding, Peer-to-Peer Lending) * Use of blockchain in WealthTech, InsurTech and PropTech * Regulatory approaches of innovative financial services (regulating ICO, security and utility tokens) and RegTech (AML, security issues)
