This past week we again saw some MIGHTY deals in the digital wealth sector, with every one over $200M USD, and so many in that category that we couldn't include others in the $100M-$200M USD range this week's Top 5 list. Shocking, isn't it?

This week, we're back again with a fresh new round of top 5 VC deals in the digital wealth sector, and in the famous (non-sensical) words of Yogi Berra, "it's like deja vu all over again". ONE MORE WEEK with every deal at $100M USD+ and we even had to trim one - Employment Hero ($100M USD) - because we had 3 deals come in right at $100M and could only use two for our weekly story.

This week, we're back again with a fresh new round of top 5 VC deals in the digital wealth sector. Another week - in the dead of summer - and I know this is getting aqfully redundant, but EVERY deal is over $100M USD AGAIN.

This week, we're back again with a fresh new round of top 5 VC deals in the digital wealth sector, and this week the banking sector takes the lead on these deals. In the meantime, TechCrunch recently published a post noting Q2/21 was the hottest quarter ever for VC fundings. LOTS of cash sloshing around with all that freshly minted dollars coming off the printing presses, so we're none too surprised.

As I reviewed our columns going back to the first of the year, it was abundantly evident that the deal sizes have ratcheted up as the year has progressed. I'll also admit, it felt weird to leave out deals in the $500M - $600M range. But those did not make the list, incredibly.

This week, 3 of the top 5 deals were international - out of South Korea, Holland and China; The Chinese deal received funding from a Canadian teacher's pension fund - we thought that was interesting and rather unusual; In America, the two firms who made our list this week were in auto finance and wealthtech - two strong areas of financing in our country.

This week, we're back again with a fresh new round of top 5 VC deals in the digital wealth sector, with another blockbuster week of fundings, and other $100M+ deals that didn't make the top 5 including Addepar ($150M) and PayCargo ($125).

Four of the top 5 deals this week come out of foreign markets - Mexico, Sweden, France and Germany. We also have two deals in the blockchain sector - Solana Labs and Ledger. Big numbers again, this week, too. The smallest deal in the Top 5 came in at $180M with the "winner" - Swedish payments firm Klarna - topping out at $639M USD.

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!

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.
