Advisors don’t just need help with crypto education, they need to understand what is most important to learn, where they can learn it and how to parse that information to clients.

Docupace, the provider of back-office automation solutions for wealth management firms, made a big M&A splash this week at the Riskalyze Fearless Investing Summit in Palm Springs, with Docupace’s announcement of its acquisition of PreciseFP.

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!!

Cryptocurrency has inherent key features that give enormous advantage and opportunity over regular money. It is a digital asset that utilizes computer code & blockchain technology to operate somewhat on its own.

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. 

Financial advisors are doing deals, strengthening their technology offerings and battening down the cybersecurity hatches. 

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.
