This case enables educators to use this as a classroom activity or assessment. The task empower students to choose any one of three financial innovations and independently investigate both the innovation itself, and the approach taken by financial regulators, embracing open-ended inquiry where there is no single ‘right’ answer. By positioning students as active agents in a simulated professional scenario, this case exemplifies an innovative, inclusive, and experiential approach that bridges academic theory with the practical demands of the modern finance sector.
