Abstract

Financial Technologies (fintech) has changed its direction and gained momentum with the expansion of the blockchain applications. Unlike organized market, fintech market that rapidly develops and grows is not subject to any significant regulation or control. The operations and structure of the fintech ecosystem initiatives should be supervised and regulated, like traditional financial and money markets and certain sanctions should be imposed. The regulations have three dimensions; financial regulations, technical - technological regulations and sandboxes. Financial regulations for fintech services are vital since it carries the same risks as traditional financial services face with. The provision of certain technical and technological requirements in terms of control and supervision is also important for the maintenance of services. On the other hand, the regulation of sandboxes, which is laboratory work for actors and/or applications that would be introduced into the market, has a distinct importance. In the study, three perspectives are taken into consideration and the directions needed by regulators are examined. Examples from countries that have enacted the control and supervision mechanism are given and the functioning of the regulations are discussed with examples from different countries.

FİNTEK EKOSİSTEMİ İÇİN GEREKLİ DÜZENLEMELER (REGTEK)

Abstract

Blok zincir uygulamalarının yaygınlaşmasıyla finansal teknoloji (fintek) yön değiştirmiş ve ivme kazanmıştır. Hızla gelişen ve büyüyen fintek piyasası, organize piyasalardan farklı olarak, belirgin bir düzenlemeye ve denetime tabi değildir. Fintek ekosistemindeki girişimler işleyişi ve yapısı diğer para ve sermaye piyasaları gibi denetlenmeli ve belirli yaptırımlar uygulanmalıdır. Regülasyonların üç ayrı boyutu bulunmaktadır; finansal regülasyonlar, teknik – teknolojik regülasyonlar ve kum havuzları. Geleneksel finans servislerinin karşı karşıya olduğu riskleri taşıdığından, fintek servisleri için finansal regülasyonlar hayati önem arz etmektedir. Kontrol edilebilme ve denetleme açısından belirli teknik ve teknolojik gereksinimlerin sağlanması, hizmet ve servislerin sürdürülebilmesi için de önemlidir. Diğer yandan piyasaya girecek aktörlerin ve/veya uygulamaların laboratuvar çalışması niteliğindeki kum havuzlarının düzenlenmesi ise ayrı bir önem kazanmaktadır. Çalışmada üç perspektif de ele alınarak regülatörlerin ihtiyaç duyduğu yönler incelenmiştir. Kontrol ve denetim mekanizmasını yasalaştıran ülkelerden örnekler verilerek düzenlemelerin işlerliği ele alınmıştır.
