Abstract: 
The past ten years have seen the rapid and significant growth of Financial Technology (Fintech), a disruptive influence fundamentally transforming the financial industry's structure. This study delves into a decade's worth of Fintech research, intending to extract the fundamental nature of its revolutionary influence on scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. By employing a comprehensive approach involving systematic research and literary synthesis, we can reveal the dynamic patterns and vivid nuances that characterize the evolving landscape of Fintech. Within the innovation framework, various patterns become apparent, resembling constellations in the night sky. Regulatory obstacles appear as towering cliffs and the twin pillars of financial inclusion and sustainability beckon like distant beacons in the fog. Our exploration of Fintech research uncovers a constantly changing ecosystem characterized by evolving paradigms, methodological changes, and the elusive possibility of long-term consequences. Through the lens of scholarly investigation, we delve into the complicated relationship between interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, which serves as the driving force behind advancements in the field of Financial Technology (Fintech).
