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.

Actions by the Commission that include slow-walking certain fintech-related qualifications, including its sheer unwillingness to approve a cryptocurrency ETF, are just the tip of the iceberg. The latest threats by the SEC to sue cryptocurrency exchanges and its allusions to banning fintech revenue models altogether should have every American deeply concerned – especially when suggestions of such bans come just weeks following an IPO effective date.

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.

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".

At this week’s OneVoice event, held in Orlando Florida, discussions that were both part of the formal agenda and informally among attendees contained a truly elevated sense of purpose and urgency on a wide range of topics – Including technology.

This week, we're back again with a fresh new round of top 5 VC deals in the digital wealth sector, and in the famous (non-sensical) words of Yogi Berra, "it's like deja vu all over again". ONE MORE WEEK with every deal at $100M USD+ and we even had to trim one - Employment Hero ($100M USD) - because we had 3 deals come in right at $100M and could only use two for our weekly story.
