3G Times is an independent digital newspaper covering Regulation, Compliance, Digital, Legaltech and Technology. Financial rules are written in prose and enforced in code, and 3G Times reports on the gap between the two. It is part of VUGA Network, a group of independent digital publications published in the United States.

Who It's For

People carrying an obligation: compliance officers reading a consultation paper, fintech engineers who have to encode a threshold, in-house counsel deciding whether a vendor claim survives contact with a supervisor. A piece starts with the mechanism — what the statute requires, which article, which deadline — before it argues about consequence.

Coverage

Regulation follows rulemaking that touches payments, lending, crypto and market infrastructure: consultation drafts, final texts, transition periods and enforcement priorities, read closely and translated into what a product team must change, across more than one jurisdiction. Compliance concerns execution rather than interpretation — control design, KYC and AML workflows, evidence retention, reporting calendars, and the cost of staffing a function that supervisors will inspect. Digital tracks the infrastructure layer regulators now examine: identity verification, electronic signatures, data residency, cloud concentration and API security, with the technical detail left in. Legaltech News keeps the running record of the sector — releases, firm-wide adoptions, procurement wins, funding rounds and court decisions that shift how legal software may be used — in short, dated, sourced items. Business News tracks earnings, funding, mergers and pricing across fintech and legal services, with enough market context to explain why a deal happened.

Standards

Vendor marketing gets tested against documentation and, where possible, against people running the software in production. Rewritten press releases, funding notices dressed as insight, and predictions about regulation nobody has proposed stay out. Where a rule is ambiguous, the piece names the ambiguity.
