This week we're back with a fresh round of new Top 5 VC deals, and the diversity of fintech in these deals continues to excite us.

The fintech industry has attained royal status. A bitcoin ETF is finally seeing the light of day, and crypto prices have been rallying. Legacy banks are feeling the heat from fintech, and more.  

Friends, we have a fresh new format for you this week, as we continue to see more stratospheric investment in fintech. That said, in our past two weeks, every Top 5 VC deal has been over $200M, and this week, we saw those numbers drop somewhat. Time will tell if this foretells a future trend of lowering investment numbers in the sector.

The pipeline for fintech IPOs and SPAC deals continues to fill in Q4. Legacy tech companies are increasingly looking to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Cannabis bankers are helping the industry to become legitimate in the eyes of financial institutions.

An explosion is happening in fintech. The BNPL craze appears to be here to stay. RIAs can no longer ignore client demand for crypto, a crypto trading hamster is outperforming everybody and central bankers are forging ahead with CBDCs.

Greetings Fintech Friends! This week we visit with Michael Magnan at AdvizorPro, review the technology lesson wealth firms need to learn from medicine and law and hear how retail investors are capitalizing on multi-family real estate investing through fintech platforms. READ UP!!

Just when you think there could not possibly be anything left to politicize along comes a new entrant. Crypto. How might potential voters view legalizing crypto for payments? Would Republicans or Democrats be more inclined to accept crypto as legal tender? Where do they live? Red state? Blue sate? How would they vote? If you are contemplating running for political office you need (?) to know, right? Well let's dig in.

Not to sound like a broken record, but we often do. But I believe this week's internatoinal VC deals in the fintech sector may have hit an all-time high, inasmuch as the smallest deal was $200M USD, and we by-passed numerous deals in excess of $100M for this week's list.

Fintech companies are increasingly targeting trading, one startup is shortening its workweek, and a bitcoin ETF could finally be on the horizon. In addition, the IPO pipeline is full but is facing regulatory delays though investor demand appears to be robust. 

s I write this on October 4th, and we're all watching the complete blackout of all Facebook-related sites, many people may not realize that the firm is a huge player in the payments space, and that is currently offline as well.
