Big tech in finance

Big Tech is about to rewire the global financial system at a scale and pace never seen before. Big Tech in Finance provides a cutting-edge look at tech titans’ play for domination of the blockchain economy, its ramifications, and how finance is fighting back. The book examines the motives behind Big Tech's break into banking and unpicks the strategies behind the use of distributed ledgers, technology interfaces, infrastructure, and investments. It reviews how commercial and central banks counter those threats by driving their own centralized blockchain strategies. Finally, Big Tech in Finance lays out what regulators must do to preserve financial stability and individual liberty, while harnessing the innovative power of tech giants.
