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!

Apex Fintech Solutions LLC (“Apex”), the “fintech for fintechs” powering innovation and the future of digital wealth management, today announced it intends to launch a product that is designed to give investors immediate access to funds upon the sale of U.S. equity securities, rather than waiting the customary two-day settlement period.

Fintechs continue to grab the spotlight on a global stage as venture capital chases startups and the pipeline continues to grow for more mature companies to list in the public markets, mostly through SPACs. The pace of deals does not appear to be slowing down as fintech billionaires are minted overseas while Asia and Latin America seek to raise their profile for tech innovation. The Robinhood of Pakistan’s investment app is one of two fintech related rounds just announced. And millennials are fueling a transformation in banks to a more digitized business model. Let’s dive in.

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.

AdvisorTech-focused firms have been busy in the capital markets, doing M&A deals, raising equity and debt, pursuing bank licenses and jumping on the SPAC bandwagon.

The fintech ecosystem has expanded to include offshoots, such as insurtech and auto fintech, for example. It gives companies a unique calling card, and it seems everybody wants a slice of the fintech pie these days. You can’t blame them, given the rate at which fintechs are reaching unicorn status as Silicon Valley and Wall Street alike pile into these names. This past week was no different.

We're back in lofty heights this week with all five deals exceeding $100M and one deal just shy of $1B USD. How many times have I said this now-practically every week. The dollars in the VC sector going into fintech are enormous. Methinks maybe just a wee bit of inflation in there rearing it's usgly head in the sector as well - whattya think?

Bitcoin has seen quite a ride the last few weeks. Backing off the recent highs around $65K and then plunging to around $30K wiping out millions of dollars in investor holdings. Choreographed buying opportunity? Government plot to destroy crypto? Or, just a hell-of-a Smackdown playing by wrestling rules?

If these persistently low interest rates have got you down, you’re not alone. Big investors are fed up too. They are scouring the markets for the next big score and are increasingly turning their attention to fintech. Based on the market conditions, it is easy to see why.
