I haven't seen an immediate impact like this from a congressional investigation in a long time

Many academic institutions are kinda confused when it comes to launching new degrees such as #FinTechs, Data Sciences, Business #Analytics, Machine Learning, Ai, etc.
There does not seem to be a standardized curriculum for such programs as we see in other academic disciplines.

Just combining courses from Maths, Statistics and Computer Sciences Faculty will not give you a Data Science Degree Program.
That is the mistake that universities're making at the moment.
Highly Amateurish.

1/ THREAD ABT REGULATORY NEWS in #crypto, which I’ve been chronicling on twitter since April. Seems crackdown has begun. I dunno how it'll turn out but:
* it won't impact #BTC #ETH etc directly. Base layers will keep addin' blocks
* it'll impact intermediaries & US$ access points

2/ Today was a key event that few in #crypto were probably watching, but it REALLY matters: the comment period ended for the Fed’s proposed payment system access guidelines. See comment letters here (including @AvantiBT’s 18-page tome--awaiting upload): federalreserve.gov/apps/foia/View…
3/ Why does it matter? Fed guidelines are partly aimed at #crypto (despite not mentioning crypto even once). Given what’s happening w/ US$ #stablecoins, the guidelines are esp relevant (see WSJ story last wk-FSOC wants Fed to regulate stablecoins per “ppl familiar w/discussion”)
1/13: There’s a lot of chatter recently about #Fintechs not wanting to hire people with traditional #Banking backgrounds and traditional #Bankers pointing out how short-sighted this is. It’s a complex topic that’s worth unpacking. 👇
2/13: Like with most arguments, there isn’t a right or a wrong side. Every company is unique and every hiring decision is the net result of a complex series of tradeoffs. Finding the perfect fit for any role is a noble goal to pursue but is unfortunately a fantasy standard IRL.
3/13: Banker Perspective: Fintechs don’t realize how the machinery works. They don’t appreciate how to navigate building products and delivering services in a highly regulated world. They should appreciate how many landmines could be avoided if they just hired experienced people.

1/We begin with some financial services news recap. Last week, Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Plc crashed the interest rate for its ‘personal overdraft’ from 1.25% to 1% per month.
@Nairametrics reported that the review made Standard Chartered one of the banks with the lowest interest rates in Nigeria.
The development can also be seen as a strategic move by the bank, as it makes major inroads into Nigeria’s highly lucrative...

Auf unsere Recherchen über die geheimen Pläne der #Schufa reagiert die Auskunftei mit einem Kommentar des Sprechers Ingo A. Koch. Er schreibt über „pseudo-investigative und konstruierte Skandale“, die „auf Reichweitengewinn“ ausgerichtet seien/1 schufa.de/themenportal/d…

Según FIEL y #Adeba la evidencia sobre el efecto de las #fintechs en la inclusión financiera en Argentina es sólo anecdótica. Veamos algunas “anécdotas”... #nolohizounbanco
Innovamos creando un QR interoperable, se lo ofrecimos gratis a los comercios y en 12 meses ya hubo más de 8 millones de pagos desde celulares. #nolohizounbanco
Democratizamos los pagos con tarjeta de crédito, duplicando la cantidad de comercios que las aceptan. Ya llevamos 900.000 dispositivos Point mPOS vendidos. #nolohizounbanco
