This panel examines financial technologies (fintech) as a source of political disruption rather than as a narrowly technical or market-driven phenomenon. While fintech and central bank digital currencies are often framed as innovations that enhance efficiency, inclusion, or competitiveness, the papers in this panel treat disruption as a process that reconfigures authority, governance, and power within European political economy and beyond. Drawing on recent debates in political economy, the panel approaches disruption not as a momentary shock but as a vector of change with magnitude and direction, shaping how states, central banks, and societal actors respond to digital finance.
