At the same time, however, financial technology has increased the risk of financial disintermediation and brought about regulatory arbitrage risks. The development of financial technology has made financial transactions faster and cheaper, so that funds bypass the existing commercial banking system and are directly transmitted to capital demanders and financiers. The status of commercial banks' financial intermediaries is relatively reduced, and financial transactions are separated from existing financial supervision. Increasingly serious, bringing regulatory arbitrage risks.

Wang Xin stressed that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of digital financial infrastructure. At present, there are problems such as data fragmentation, information islands, and data monopoly. How to formulate data standards for digital finance, promote the unification of data standards, and improve the machine readability of data is a problem that needs to be solved.
