This paper examined the dynamic relationship between FinTech development and financial development using the time-varying parameter structural vector autoregression (TVP-SV-VAR) model to analyze their impulse response relationship. The results showed that the impact of FinTech development on financial development varies across different periods. In China, before the first half of 2021, financial development mainly drove FinTech development through demand. Afterward, FinTech development promoted financial development by providing new technological tools and services. In the United States, FinTech innovation and application mainly influenced financial development through supply-driven mechanisms. After the second half of 2022, as FinTech infrastructure improved, its positive impact on the financial market strengthened. The study also found that the effects of policy changes and market fluctuations on impulse responses at specific time points differed even in countries with different systems. The findings of this paper provide valuable insights for policymakers to address the challenges and opportunities brought on by FinTech.
