Consumer Protection: FinTech Enforcement Trends
March 5, 2026
12:30 pm - 1:15 pm
WCC; 1010 Classroom
As fintech and digital asset markets continue to evolve, so too does the question of who is responsible for protecting consumers. This panel brings together former CFPB officials, regulators, litigators, and consumer advocates to examine how enforcement priorities are shifting and what meaningful consumer protection looks like in crypto today. Panelists will explore where gaps remain, how agencies are responding, and what these developments mean for the future of financial regulation.
