Greetings from Digital Wealth News™
Friends, this week the Fed makes waves, fintech VC surges, Carta+NYSE launch big, Figure eyes IPO, Tether debuts USAT, and advisor tech reshapes with Envestnet’s $1B R&D and FMG’s GTCR deal.
Behind the headlines, Hala, Speedchain, Aven, Factris, and Eloquent highlight a strong week for fintech funding. Carta’s partnership with NYSE signals new bridges between private and public markets, while Cboe rolls out Magnificent 10 derivatives and BlackRock advances tokenization. In crypto, Figure moves toward a $787M IPO, Gemini expands, and Tether launches its USAT stablecoin in the wake of the GENIUS Act. On the advisor tech front, Envestnet commits $1B in R&D post-Bain, GTCR acquires FMG, SigFig rebrands Tandem with an AI-driven WealthOS, and Betterment links up with Vanilla to deepen estate planning tools.
Meanwhile, momentum builds for the Big Sky AI Forum—Cindy Taylor interviews Liam Hanlon of JUMP.ai (watch here) as they lay out AI strategy, forum insights, and what’s next. AI disruption meets market volatility—signs of a financial landscape shifting fast.
