For Big Tech, and for FinTechs, the regulatory landscape is shifting — and the barrage of new rules and regulations comes from all sides.
That’s especially true in the United States and China, the two largest economies in the world, where a significant portion of payments and commerce innovation generally takes shape in private markets. We’re seeing what may be the crystallization of distinct antitrust policies in each of those nations.
