Two weeks ago the EU parliament and Council negotiators agreed new EU rules to limit the market power of big online platforms. The Digital Markets Act will ban certain practices used by large platforms acting as “gatekeepers” and enable the Commission to carry out market investigations and sanction non-compliant behaviour. Before the  Digital Markets Act was agreed I spoke to Amandine Le Pape founder of British tech start-up, Element about it. Amandine talks about her concerns on the EU  Digital Markets Act and why she thinks enforcing interoperability between apps through Open APIs. Essentially allowing Big Tech to control the process, which will build weak solutions to keep regulators at bay. More about the Digital Markets Act: EU lawmakers agreed that the largest messaging services (such as Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger or iMessage) will have to open up and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms, if they so request. Users of small or big platforms would then be able to exchange messages, send files or make video calls across messaging apps, thus giving them more choice. As regards interoperability obligation for social networks, co-legislators agreed that such interoperability provisions will be assessed in the future. Parliament also ensured that combining personal data for targeted advertising will only be allowed with explicit consent to the gatekeeper. They also managed to include a requirement to allow users to freely choose their browser, virtual assistants or search engines. If a gatekeeper does not comply with the rules, the Commission can impose fines of up to 10% of its total worldwide turnover in the preceding financial year, and 20% in case of repeated infringements. In case of systematic infringements, the Commission may ban them from acquiring other companies for a certain time.

Silta Finance is Ben's fourth startup and here is where he finds his passion. His corporate career was in infrastructure finance and he first heard about Bitcoin in 2011 but ignored it initially. It was only around 2016 that he took a bigger interest, crucially in the functionality. “I got that it was an immutable database but then I saw the functionality in the dApps and that piqued my curiosity.” With Silta Finance, his blockchain startup which is described as bridge connecting DeFI with infrastructure investments, Ben believes he can bridge the world of TradFi and DeFi. For him, Silta Finance sits right in the middle of these two worlds and can take the best from both.

A significant amount of money has been invested in FinTech in the past decade; according to CFTE, the FinTech sector is now equivalent to 38% of the banking sector in terms of market capitalization. If FinTech was considered a city, it would rank 3rd as an employer in financial services, after New York and London. In a world where we are playing buzzword bingo on a seemingly daily basis, how do we stay on top of the real innovation trends in this fast developing world? And how can we facilitate pathways to these new opportunities and make sure that no one is left behind? As the saying goes, talent is equally distributed; opportunities are not.  In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Tram Anh Nguyen, co-founder of CFTE, whose mission is to leverage the power of education to create a more inclusive and welcoming new world of financial services. That’s certainly a purpose we can all get behind.
