Minggu ini saya diminta bicara di Seminar International tentang Fintech di 3rd International Conference on Islamic Epistemology (ICIE) 2019 Indonesia di Universitas Al-Azhar Indonesia (UAI) Jakarta, Indonesia.
Di antara key points yang akan saya sampaikan adalah:
1. Fintech (Financial Technology) adalah inovasi yang harus dijaga (bukan malah dihalang-halangi) oleh regulasi.
2. Fintech tidak tumbuh dalam ruang nir-regulasi (legal vacuum) oleh karena itu masih harus taat terhadap aturan main yang ada.
3. Pengaturan Fintech perlu hati-hati, sinergis dan technology-neutral, jika tidak maka regulasi akan kounter produktif dan fintek layu sebelum berkembang.
4. Layaknya mengatur produk-produk teknologi, mengatur fintek perlu memadukan berbagai aspek termasuk norma, pasar, arsitektur dan juga kode/pengaturan.
5. Terakhir, kita perlu awas terhadap ruang-ruang samar (blindspot) dalam pengaturan data fintek.

Ada tiga hal yang memerlukan jawaban kita:
Dimana perlindungannya hukumnya? Disinilah signifikansinya UU Perlindungan Data Pribadi (Personal Data Protection Law).
Apa saja sebenarnya yang hendak diatur dan dilindungi dalam UU tersebut? Apa hak-hak individu terhadap datanya sendiri? Apa batasan yang dikenakan bagi mereka yang ingin menggunakan data pribadi orang lain, baik untuk kepentingan bisnis maupun lainnya?
Ini di antara pokok pikiran yang tertuang dalam presentasi saya di Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, 21 September 2019. Bagi para peserta, silakan mengunduh materi SLIDES disini:Â >> Hukum Data Pribadi UMP 210919
Dalam Seminar Nasional yang diselenggarakan oleh Fakultas Hukum UM Purwokerto ini, selain saya, ada sahabat saya yang juga akan ikut urun rembuk, yaitu Dr. Iwan Satriawan dari FH UMY dan Mas Bayu Setaiawan, S.H, M.H., dari FH UM Purwokerto. Selain itu juga ada Sdr Teguh Arifiyadi, S.H., M.H.

My latest book chapter co-worked with my colleague Dr Mohd Yazid Zul Kepli who also led the project.
“Cryptocurrencies and Anti-money Laundering Laws: The Need for an Integrated Approach”
This chapter attempts to clarify and describe the legal and regulatory framework for cryptocurrency with special focus on Malaysia and the threats that it poses from the anti-money laundering perspective.
Currently, very few countries have legislations that regulate cryptocurrency. Nonetheless, the crazy surge in prices (to more than 20-folds at some point) has sent both legitimate investors and criminals flocking to cryptocurrencies.
This chapter analyses and compares the official reports from various governments, writings of government officials, experts and scholars in journals and newspapers, interviews and draws conclusions on the legal framework of cryptocurrency, and money laundering challenges.
The study notes that the decision of the US regulators in allowing Bitcoin futures to trade on major exchanges to be one of the reasons behind the sudden surge. The study also finds that the South Korean regulators’ approach in banning its financial institutions from dealing with virtual currency is a positive one.
The chapter stresses that it is not adequate for regulators to warn the public to act with extreme caution and increase their understanding on the risks they take on if they choose to invest in cryptocurrencies. Instead, it is necessary to have comprehensive international and national laws and regulations for the control and management of cryptocurrencies. In addition, the anti-money laundering legal framework must be improved to cater to the new threats posed by cryptocurrency.
