Inflation might be in the air, but that hasn’t stopped American consumers from shopping online and at physical stores this holiday season in a rush to beat the supply chain blues. BNPL has come into its own in 2021.  Mastercard and Visa both have their sights set on digital payments. Credit unions want more control over their crypto holdings. And billionaire tech entrepreneur Jack Dorsey is stirring the pot in the VC community. 

BNPL companies are in the spotlight, but not for the reasons they would want. Wall Street analysts have fintech stocks in their sights, while one China-based tech giant is looking to gaming to take some of the regulatory heat off in Beijing. Fintech M&A is alive and well, while an emerging fintech-focused VC firm with its roots in a major crypto exchange has entered the fray.

Jack Dorsey is shaking things up at Twitter. Ready or not the holiday season has kicked off, and the threat of yet another COVID variant coupled with the supply chain disaster has American shoppers shifting gears. BNPL firms are enjoying the spotlight, and Mark Cuban shares how he sees crypto maturing.   

Fintechs are flooding the publicly traded markets, and SPAC deals will persist at least until 2022. A leading crypto investment firm is expanding into wealth management for high-net-worth investors. Banks are strengthening their tech stacks, and consumers are gearing up for holiday shopping.
