3 Bs and a Crumbling World Order

The emergence of financial technologies has unlocked a myriad of possibilities for reshaping governance systems, from the grassroots level of micro-governance to the broader scope of national and transnational governance. This book thoroughly examines the significant impact of cutting-edge financial technology on enhancing worldwide access to financial services. In an era marked by persistent governance challenges, it highlights the transformative potential of AI-driven solutions in fostering more equitable economic participation. Overcoming traditional banking barriers to serve underserved and unbanked communities, the book investigates the fourth wave of fintech innovation depicted by AI, blockchain technologies and decentralized systems. The book begins by presenting the fundamentals of digital innovation, particularly emphasising the transformative role of AI-powered financial tools in improving banking experiences for various global communities. It emphasizes the role of digital payment platforms in bridging the gap between urban and rural populations, as well as the way blockchain technology and smart contracts are setting new benchmarks for transaction security and transparency. Its primary focus is on the strategies for overcoming financial exclusion. Cybersecurity compliance, ethical AI, data governance, and regulatory coordination are considered essential for creating trustworthy digital financial systems. Additionally, it thoroughly examines the alternative credit scoring methods that use non-traditional data to transform lending and presents the opportunities and challenges that will shape the future of finance, with a particular emphasis on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), sustainable blockchain solutions, and artificial intelligence collaborations. For scholars, researchers and policymakers working to create a more accessible and sustainable financial future, the book offers a thorough overview of the state of inclusive fintech today and a predictive outlook on how technology can promote global economic equity.

Financial Innovation for Inclusive and Equitable Digital Economies

This book examines why the liberal international order, once seemingly unassailable, now confronts existential questions in the twenty-first century's opening decades. It shows how the rise of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), BRICS, and Bitcoin-the '3 Bs'- has signalled a fundamental shift in global power dynamics and governance frameworks. It analyzes how these three externalities challenge core assumptions about international cooperation, economic governance, and hegemonic leadership. They also posit alternative visions: infrastructure-led connectivity, multipolar economic alliances, and decentralized financial systems that bypass traditional Western institutions. Moving beyond nostalgia or triumphalism, it explores what frameworks might emerge as the world transitions from unipolarity-and whether liberal internationalism can adapt, reform, or must yield to fundamentally different organizing principles for global order.The volume will be of great interest to researchers and students of politics and international relations, development studies and international organizations. Accessible and comprehensive, it will also be of interest to general readers.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

This book provides a commentary on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), a game-changing EU regulation for crypto-assets and crypto-asset services. Directly applicable in all EU Member States, MiCAR serves as a benchmark for future regulation in other jurisdictions, influencing rulemaking and crypto industry around the world. In this book, leading experts in the fields of financial law, regulation and technology examine the goals, rules and operation of MiCAR. The book explores its provisions in the broader context of current market practices, technological developments, existing financial law instruments (eg MiFID II, Prospectus Regulation, Crowdfunding Regulation and Market Abuse Regulation), court cases (eg the bankruptcies of FTX and Celsius), regulatory initiatives in the USA and the UK, as well as soft law instruments. The book is designed for anyone dealing with crypto-assets or considering entering the crypto space. This includes representatives from legal and business communities, both incumbent (banks, investment firms, investment funds) and new market players (crypto exchanges, wallet service providers, issuers of stablecoins), supervisory authorities, students and academics. The reader will gain a deep understanding of the scope and structure of MiCAR, key terms used in it, its rationale, and the main rules for issuers of crypto-assets, crypto-asset service providers and crypto-asset services.

Springer Texts in Business and Economics

This book equips readers with a clear, structured framework to understand, evaluate, and apply FinTech solutions in real financial contexts. By combining conceptual foundations with hands-on cases, it enables readers to move confidently from theory to implementation across multiple financial domains.&nbsp; The book adopts an integrated approach that connects financial logic, managerial decision-making, and core digital technologies. It progresses systematically from the fundamentals of financial systems to enabling technologies-such as big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things-and then to their concrete applications in payments, digital currency, credit, capital markets, investment advisory, and insurance. Regulation, governance, and risk management are treated as essential components rather than afterthoughts. What distinguishes this book is its balanced treatment of finance and technology, avoiding excessive technical abstraction while retaining analytical rigor. Drawing on both Chinese and international case studies, it offers a diverse and comparative perspective on how FinTech evolves across different institutional and market environments. Rich real-world examples, data-driven illustrations, and operational models help readers understand how FinTech works in practice and why it creates value. The book is designed for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and doctoral students in finance, business, information systems, and related fields, as well as practitioners seeking a systematic introduction to FinTech. No advanced programming background is required.

From Technologies to Applications

An Introduction to Fintech

Forschungsreihe PHW

Seit Jahrhunderten verlassen wir uns auf staatliche Währungen, deren Stabilität von Notenbanken, Gesetzen und Institutionen getragen wird. Mit dem Aufstieg von Bitcoin tritt diesem etablierten Modell ein grundlegend anderes gegenüber: ein dezentrales System, das sein Vertrauen nicht aus Institutionen, sondern aus Technologie und mathematischer Sicherheit ableitet. Doch lässt sich technisches Vertrauen tatsächlich in gesellschaftliches übersetzen?Diese Studie untersucht, wie Vertrauen in Geldsysteme entsteht, sich wandelt und begründet wird. Sie stellt das institutionelle Vertrauen in den Schweizer Franken dem technologischen Vertrauen in Bitcoin gegenüber und kombiniert theoretische Grundlagen mit empirischen Daten aus leitfadengestützten Interviews. Befragt wurden zwei Gruppen: Experten aus Wirtschaft, Finanzwesen und Kryptobranche sowie Mitglieder der Schweizer Bevölkerung. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie sich beide Vertrauensformen unterscheiden, voneinander abgrenzen lassen und welche Rolle institutionelle Absicherung, Technologie und Eigenverantwortung dabei spielen. Eine differenzierte Analyse an der Schnittstelle von Soziologie, Ökonomie und Technologie – für alle, die verstehen wollen, worauf unser Vertrauen in Geld wirklich beruht.

Eine qualitative Analyse des Vertrauens in Schweizer Franken und Bitcoin

Institutionelles und technologisches Vertrauen in Geldsystemen

Equips legal professionals and stakeholders with a clear, authoritative, and practical guide to the UK legal treatment of digital payments and tokenised assets. The Law of Digital Payments is a guide to UK payments law, examining how English law and financial regulation are adapting to new forms of money and new ways of moving it. Value now passes between banks, payment service providers and distributed ledgers, and AI agents are beginning to initiate payments. For lawyers and compliance professionals, this raises fundamental questions about when a debt is discharged, who bears the loss when a payment goes wrong, and which activities fall within the regulatory perimeter. This title sets out the legal concepts of payment and money before mapping the regulatory perimeter under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Regulated Activities Order 2001, the Payment Services Regulations 2017 and the Electronic Money Regulations 2011. Later chapters provide clarity on funds transfers and settlement, card payments, open banking and payment initiation, digital wallets, strong customer authentication, unauthorised transactions and the recovery of misdirected payments, including authorised push payment (APP) fraud. Coverage of tokenised payment includes the classification of cryptoassets and their status as property. The new UK regimes for stablecoins and tokenised deposits are considered alongside the proposed digital pound. The final chapters address the protection of customer funds when a payment or e-money institution becomes insolvent. They also examine the legal questions raised by agentic payments, in which an AI agent makes payments on a user's behalf. Drawing upon legislation, FCA rules and guidance, case law and current reform proposals, the book is designed to help practitioners, in-house counsel, regulators, payment firms and academics understand and apply the law of digital payments. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.
