In this research project, the aim is to present the scope of technological advancements in Ecuadorian society and how their development has created the need for lawmakers to regulate them within the legal system. In particular, an analysis was carried out on the innovative Organic Law for the Development, Regulation, and Control of Technological Financial Services, known as the Fintech Law, enacted on December 22, 2022, and published in the Second Supplement of Official Register No. 215. Based on the review of its content, the existence of various regulatory gaps has been identified. In this regard, a proposal for regulatory improvement is presented below, duly supported by constitutional and corporate principles. Additionally, a case of comparative law jurisprudence is examined, which allows us to observe the evolution of this type of regulation in other countries. The speed with which society is transforming requires Ecuadorian law to continue developing in financial and technological matters capable of addressing these new scenarios.
