“We have serious people working in financial innovation that can create a lot of jobs, generate wealth, cement America even more as the world’s financial juggernaut,” he said. “But there are pitfalls, and there are things to watch out for, and regulators and lawmakers need to make sure we’re building a foundation, but not an overly prescriptive set of rules. So I think it’s hard to sit here and not get excited about some of the innovation that’s happening, but at the same time, how are we going to regulate it? How are we going to ensure that the innovation survives our regulations?”
