Better late than never. Looks like that's the thinking over at JPMorgan. For the very first time in its 222 year history, the banking giant has decided to open its first international expansion.

The deal size is back thru the roof in this week's current edition. We saw a slight drop off last week, but apparently that was an anomaly due to Rosh Hashanah and the Labor Day weekend before that. This week, the deals are back in scale, and more over the $100M total than we can post here.

We hope you had a great Labor Day week and enjoyed the tail end of the summer season with a few extra days off. But this week we're back at it with a new roundup of the Top 5 VC deals in digital wealth.

Seasons change and so does the fintech landscape. Since our last update, one major cryptocurrency exchange is calling out the SEC, Europe does not want to get left behind on digital currencies, investors have some remorse over buy now pay later, and SPACs are still popular.
