With the holidays, we took a week off from this column, but we're back at the end of the year and HOLY CANNOLI - have we got some big deals to include - including a $1B Equity transaction. Just goes to show that you can't be asleep at the wheel if you're covering the fintech sector - it doesn't sleep - and the money keeps flowing in ever larger transactional amounts.

This week we have some really interesting and diverse deals to review in our Top 5 VC Deals in Digital Wealth column - across multiple sectors and on 3 continents. And even though it's the dead of summer (though in Montana we're already moving straight into fall), there is still some big money moving around in the VC sector for fintech and digital wealth.

D, and international in scope. I honestly sometimes feel guilty limiting this list to the Top 5 VC deals, because important deals OVER $100M USD are increasingly not making the cut for this column. But that's where the fintech VC market is headed - "to infinity, and beyond".

The wealthtech space has been abuzz with M&A activity and new hires over the past week.

This week, same as I always do, I went to my trusted source for listings of these deals and the first 5 were all over $100M. I thought to myself, "hmmm, this column will be a piece of cake this week!" BUT - I scrolled down and saw MORE deals - HUGE deals - on the following pages. So we have again hit another round of massive funding this past week - EVERY ONE OVER $300M USD!

Friends, today we're launching another new column - Real Clear Crypto - where our readers will be able to learn more about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. We also have a new term for you to check out - FUD - in Bill Taylor's post on Jamie Dimon and bitcoin, plus our other great weekly columns - filled with the latest industry news for you! Read up!

We're back again with a fresh new round of top 5 VC deals for the week in the digital wealth sector. This is going to sound redundant. Not one deal is under $100M, and we actually had to omit British firm Paysend from this list, who also had a deal close at $125M this week - because - we would then be at 6 deals for our "Top 5 Deals" post.

With 2020 behind us, and new occupants in the White House and the halls of Congress, many are wondering where the digital wealth sector (a/k/a "fintech") is headed

RLTY Capital, a new REtech platform and specialty finance firm, launched today with the introduction of a new service that enables real estate agents, brokerages and developers to secure earned commissions upfront with no hidden fees or extraneous costs.

Today, every financial service experience out there, whether it’s financial planning software like eMoney or MoneyGuidePro, or the technology in our 401(k) account, all the way to our investment accounts is consumer-centric and driven by a digital experience. The last bastion is in what we would call complex insurance products.
