Financial Innovation Balance

Definition

Financial innovation balance refers to finding the right equilibrium between encouraging new financial technologies and managing associated risks. This concept involves the careful calibration of regulatory policies and market practices to support the development of novel financial products, services, and business models, particularly in the digital asset space, while simultaneously addressing potential systemic risks, consumer protection concerns, and market integrity issues. It seeks to prevent stifling progress through excessive regulation while avoiding instability from unchecked innovation. Achieving this balance is crucial for sustainable growth.
