arXiv:2507.19976v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fintech provides technological services to increase operational efficiency in financial institutions, but traditional perimeter-based defense mechanisms are insufficient against evolving cyber threats like insider attacks, malware intrusions, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). These vulnerabilities expose Fintech organizations to significant risks, including financial losses and data breaches. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a blockchain-integrated Zero Trust framework, adhering to the principle of "Never Trust, Always Verify." The framework uses Ethereum smart contracts to enforce Multi Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Just-In-Time (JIT) access privileges, effectively mitigating credential theft and insider threats, the effect of malware and APT attacks. The proposed solution transforms blockchain into a Policy Engine (PE) and Policy Enforcement Point (PEP), and policy storage,

arXiv:2507.14007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid integration of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 technologies into digital banks and fintech operations has created an integrated environment blending traditional financial systems with decentralised elements. This paper introduces the CryptoNeo Threat Modelling Framework (CNTMF), a proposed framework designed to address the risks in these ecosystems, such as oracle manipulation and cross-chain exploits. CNTMF represents a proposed extension of established methodologies like STRIDE, OWASP Top 10, NIST frameworks, LINDDUN, and PASTA, while incorporating tailored components including Hybrid Layer Analysis, the CRYPTOQ mnemonic for cryptocurrency-specific risks, and an AI-Augmented Feedback Loop. Drawing on real-world data from 2025 incidents, CNTMF supports data-driven mitigation to reduce losses, which totalled approximately $2.47 billion in the first half of 2025 across 344 security events (CertiK via GlobeNewswire, 2025;

The Korean art market continues to grapple with structural challenges stemming from information asymmetry and a lack of price transparency, as details regarding transaction parties and prices are rarely disclosed. Nevertheless, artworks are increasingly being recognized not only as objects of appreciation but also as assets used for inheritance, donations and investment. In line with this shift, the market has shown rapid growth. According to the report published by the Korea Arts Management Service, the total transaction volume of the domestic art market surged from 329 billion won ($238 million) in 2021 to 922.3 billion won in 2022, nearly a threefold increase in just one year. Regulatory changes are also underway. The Art Promotion Act, which took effect in July 2024, requires more systematic management and greater transparency in the operation of artworks, particularly within public institutions. As a result, demand is growing for tools that enable objective, data-driven valuation

arXiv:2507.12835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial trading environments are characterized by high volatility, numerous macroeconomic signals, and dynamically shifting market regimes, where traditional reinforcement learning methods often fail to deliver breakthrough performance. In this study, we design a reinforcement learning framework tailored for financial systems by integrating quantum circuits. We compare (1) the performance of classical A3C versus quantum A3C algorithms, and (2) the impact of incorporating LSTM-based predictions of the following week's economic trends on learning outcomes. The experimental framework adopts a custom Gymnasium-compatible trading environment, simulating discrete trading actions and evaluating rewards based on portfolio feedback. Experimental results show that quantum models - especially when combined with predictive signals - demonstrate superior performance and stability under noisy financial conditions, even with shallow quantum circuit

A message popped up at 12:04 a.m. on May 8, 2020. Wang Sang-ho, a team member at Toss, shared news about how the public certificate system was causing issues with the government's COVID-19 emergency relief fund inquiry service.

arXiv:2506.15325v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have significantly transformed the financial industry, enabling the development of more personalised and adaptable financial products and services. This research paper explores various instances where Human-Centred AI (HCAI) has facilitated these advancements, drawing from contemporary studies and industry progress. The paper examines how the application of HCAI-powered data analytics, machine learning, and natural language processing enables financial institutions to gain a deeper understanding of their customers' unique needs, preferences, and behavioural patterns. This, in turn, allows for the creation of tailored financial solutions that address individual consumer requirements, ultimately enhancing overall user experience and satisfaction. Additionally, the study highlights the integration of AI-powered robo-advisory services, which offer customised investment recommendations and

Credit card companies are struggling amid a prolonged industry downturn, company officials said Wednesday. Government-led policies aimed at lowering transaction fees have put mounting pressure on card issuers' profitability, while the rise of online payment platforms is accelerating the reshaping of the payment ecosystem, they said. In addition, the firms' ability to offset losses through lending products such as card loans is weakening due to cardholders' deteriorating financial soundness. These challenges are forcing the companies to undergo structural transformation and business reorganization in order to survive. Since the 2012 revision of the Specialized Credit Finance Business Act, financial authorities have recalculated the appropriate cost of credit card processing fees every three years, based on factors such as risk management, administrative expenses and marketing. These recalculations have consistently led to fee cuts, resulting in a steady decline in the share of merchant

A growing number of commercial lenders are strengthening partnerships with fintech firms and logistics firms in a bid to identify new revenue streams, aided by the new tech industry players’ tailored services, market watchers said Thursday. Also contributing to the appeal are reduced funding costs for the lenders, since low-cost deposits are far cheaper than issuing bonds or rolling out high-interest promotional savings accounts. Many say the new trend will redefine partnership dynamics in the financial industry, long dominated by the view that fintechs and commercial lenders will remain in competition in a rapidly saturating market. According to the financial industry, NH NongHyup Bank recently signed an agreement with Naver Pay, the payment subsidiary of the country’s largest web portal Naver, to create a payment system where customers will be able to use their points or mileages interchangeably.

arXiv:2505.06655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study measures the impact of COVID-19 outbreaks on financial technology (FinTech) lending in Indonesia. Using monthly FinTech data published by Financial Services Authority (OJK) over the period 2018M02-2021M04, the article examines the impact of COVID-19 started on March 2020 on FinTech by adopting an interrupted time series (ITS) experiment. The estimation shows that the COVID-19 outbreaks negatively affect changes in FinTech lending level in Indonesia, but the changes in the trend are positive. Moreover, the COVID-19 has been found to have a negative and statistically significant effect on the 90-day success loan settlement rate level. However, COVID-19 has positive and statistically significant effects on the 90-day default rate of loan repayment level. These estimation results recommend that the financial services authority of Indonesia should intensively promote various innovative financial technology (FinTech) lending

arXiv:2505.05920v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The growing use of machine learning in cloud environments raises critical concerns about data security and privacy, especially in finance. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers a solution by enabling computations on encrypted data, but its high computational cost limits practicality. In this paper, we propose PP-FinTech, a privacy-preserving scheme for financial applications that employs a CKKS-based encrypted soft-margin SVM, enhanced with a hybrid kernel for modeling non-linear patterns and an adaptive thresholding mechanism for robust encrypted classification. Experiments on the Credit Card Approval dataset demonstrate comparable performance to the plaintext models, highlighting PP-FinTech's ability to balance privacy, and efficiency in secure financial ML systems.

arXiv:2503.18675v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Blockchain is a technological innovation that has the potential to radically change our financial markets by providing an alternative management approach to the "promise market", which is the foundation of our financial systems. Its disruptive potential also extends to corporate finance, where blockchain is beginning to influence valuation methods and capital allocation strategies, offering new perspectives on how companies are assessed and financed. However, for a new financial architecture based on blockchain and advancements in technology -- what is commonly referred to as Fintech -- to replace, in whole or in part, traditional finance, it will need to overcome significant challenges such as regulation, environmental sustainability, its association with illegal activities, and achieving greater efficiency in cryptocurrency markets. For this reason, the future of Fintech is likely to be more conventional -- yet also more transparent,
