Impact of Deregulation on FinTech

The recent election of Donald Trump as President of the United States is anticipated to lead to significant deregulation in the financial services sector. This shift towards reducing bureaucratic oversight is seen as potentially beneficial for the FinTech industry, as it may open up new avenues for innovation and investment. However, there are concerns that this may also lead to a resurgence of riskier market behavior, similar to the excessive speculation seen during the low-interest rates of 2021. Founders and operators in the sector are advised to exercise caution and prioritize sustainable value creation over short-term gains amidst this evolving landscape.
