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.

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.

Financial institutions continue to target fintechs on their radar, but one global investment bank is getting the wrong kind of attention for its upcoming deal. Companies are trying to differentiate themselves in the buy now pay later pool. The deal pipeline is filling with M&A, SPACs and IPOs, and crypto trading is all the rage. 

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.

Did you know (I sure didn't) that there are 195 countries in the world? Did you know (I did) that only one so far has made Bitcoin legal tender? That country is El Salvador down in Central America. And sure, as dominoes fall there will be many more following El Salvador's lead.

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.
