 If it seems like fintechs have been especially active in the SPAC market this year, it’s not your imagination. Fintechs have participated in more than three-dozen blank check deals year-to-date, according to the FT Partners Q3 fintech report.

We've given up acting surprised when every deal each week continues to be over $100M in VC funding, and this week is no different. What I loved seeing is that the US was back in the driver's seat for the top deals internationally in financial technology.

This past week, America "won" with four of the five top VC deals in the fintech sector. Furthermore, all four of those deals surpassed $100M, while the 5th deal - and Indian digital lending startup - scored $75M for their new venture.
