The role of trust in financial services in a low-regulation environment

As financial innovation continues to outpace regulation, questions of trust—and who bears responsibility for maintaining it—are more urgent than ever. This session explores how trust is earned (or lost) when traditional guardrails are absent or evolving. Drawing from the last 20 years of fintech expansion, crypto disruption, and high-profile failures, the conversation will examine where self-regulation has worked, where it's failed, and what lessons the next generation of financial services companies must take seriously.
