Fintech is offering a host of convenient new ways for consumers to engage in financial transactions. However, the explosive rise of new payment technologies and trading platforms, cryptocurrencies and blockchain, and online lending are creating new challenges and questions for competition and regulatory authorities in the US and abroad. NERA Economic Consulting is launching a new seminar series exploring the various ways digital disruption continues to impact the way we view antitrust in today’s economy.
