Abstract

This paper focuses on the progress made in the field of financial technology as a result of digital development. The study highlights several major areas of financial technology and analyzes its risk level and future prospects. The research indicates that the areas of online payment and P2P lending are advancing successfully, and their respective legal and regulatory systems are relatively well-established. However, the development of Robo-Advisor and Blockchain faces significant challenges due to uncertainty and a lack of clarity regarding regulatory frameworks. The emergence of ChatGPT has disrupted the traditional understanding of Robo-Advisor, presenting new opportunities for development. On the other hand, the development of products based on blockchain technology poses a great risk as it is challenging to accurately determine their intrinsic value. Overall, digital development has greatly impacted the financial technology industry, and the study emphasizes the importance of understanding the risks associated with new technologies. The research recommends that regulators should work towards creating clear and comprehensive regulatory frameworks to promote responsible innovation in the financial technology sector.
