  • Crowdlending in Asia: Landscape and Investor Characteristics
    Crowdlending in Asia: Landscape and Investor Characteristics November 2020 2 Table of Contents Overview 3 Methodology Overview 4 Methodology Statement 4 Crowdlending in Asia 5 Text Analytics and Insights 7 Crowdlending Investor Characteristics 15 Survey Analysis and Insights 16 Crowdlending in Asia: Landscape and Investor Characteristics | Findings and Insights | Findings and insights 3 Overview Multiple issues arise with the emergence of crowdlending; these pertain to regulation, risk management and investors’ behaviour. Compared to the non-investment crowdfunding model, crowdlending is the dominant model in the world. As of 2019, crowdlending accounted for more than 95% of the funds raised worldwide, with Asian countries – particularly China – in the lead. In early 2020, China had the largest volume of money-raising transactions from crowdfunding totalling more than 200 billion USD. However, given the industry’s potential growth in Asian countries, multiple issues with crowdfunding practices need to be resolved. Media coverage on crowdlending is increasingly widespread, as seen from how it has become a buzzword within the last few years. Media attention on crowdlending can help us understand media awareness, media framing, and public understanding of the topic. Further, there is a lack of information on distinct characteristics and decision making of crowdfunding investors in the field of investor behaviour. We analysed the news coverage on crowdlending in Asia spanning a ten-year period from 2009 to 2019. We also surveyed crowdlending investors to understand their behaviours when interacting with crowdlending platforms. Our analyses provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of the crowdlending industry in Asia. They also reveal crowdlending investors’ behaviour.

  • Investigating the Application of Banking Regulation to Online Peer-To-Peer Lending Platforms in South Africa to Counter Systemic Risk
    Investigating the application of banking regulation to online peer-to-peer lending platforms in South Africa to counter systemic risk Tamarin Angela Floyd Student number 16391871 A research project submitted to the Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration. 6 November 2017 i © University of Pretoria ABSTRACT The behaviour and activities of online peer-to-peer lending platforms have evolved in different ways across jurisdictions, not fitting neatly within existing financial regulatory frameworks. Together with the growth momentum of the industry and the cases where losses were suffered, this culminated in a call to regulate peer-to-peer lending platforms adequately. The research presents an analysis of online peer-to-peer lending platforms through the lens of banking theory, questioning whether peer-to-peer platforms are behaving like banks and whether they pose systemic risk. These research questions feed into the ultimate research problem: whether online peer-to-peer lending platforms should be regulated like banks with respect to liquidity and capital requirements. Liquidity and capital requirements were designed to stem systemic risk in financial systems and have been praised as effective tools. Qualitative exploratory research was undertaken with 18 experts in the field. Key findings included that the presence of systemic risk is contingent on the operating structure and legal implications of the peer-to-peer platform. In certain cases, systemic risk could be present and as such liquidity and capital requirements should apply. The scope of the research was restricted to the South African financial system due to the unique nuances of its regulatory framework.

This link is widely debated in scientific literature, which does not necessarily seem to inform public policy. The City of Hamburg established a Next Media Initiative, focusing on media and IT industry related innovation to nurture the future development of this industry cluster with the help of high-growth ventures.

Thesis – LL.M International Business Law Aleix Vidal Monés Tilburg University 2017/2018 Student name Aleix Vidal Monés Supervisor Gil-Lemstra, P. (LLM) SNR 233888 Date 2018 ABSTRACT This paper works about the added value of crowdlending as a source of funding, its characteristics opportunities, risks and regulatory implications for the European Union (EU). In concrete, the thesis’ research is mainly focused on discovering whether the European fragmented regulatory scenario it is an appropriate playground for the crowdlending sector development. The conclusions are clear. They point out that the current EU regulatory panorama does not fit the needs of the crowdlending sector. In this sense, legislative action from the EU institutions is required to turn the "state by state" based crowdlending sector into a common European industry.
