Rewriting the Rulebook: Rethinking Regulation and Engagement | DC Fintech Week 2026

Financial rules are traditionally developed by governments and applied to private actors through siloed, often fragmented processes. But rapidly evolving digital markets may require a more collaborative model. This session introduces the Fintech Regulatory Futures Index and explores how regulators, firms, and other stakeholders can engage earlier and more effectively — and how digital tools can reshape consultation, notice-and-comment, and the rulemaking process itself. • Moderator: Chris Brummer, Chief Executive Officer, The Fintech Foundation • Todd Fox, President, Visa Economic Empowerment Institute • Peter Kerstens, Advisor, European Commission • Jérôme Beaumont, Executive Secretary, Egmont Group
