News & Insights

 

Ai Ai folks:  AI is being touted as the next big thing, or rather one of them. The power of this technology hasn’t been fully utilized yet. Here’s a dozen use cases for Fintech.

 

Lu’au Coin: Imagine palm trees, coconuts and Mai Tais, and a regulatory sandbox. Yes, that’s right, Hawaii is setting up a Digital Currency Innovation Lab. You want to make it as easy as possible to move those Rolex’s and fur coats down in Waikiki after all. 

 

Touchless lucre: Not all businesses are struggling in the wake of “don’t cough don’t touch.” Some fintechs appear to be doing quite well. 

 

Financial metamucil: With memories of what happened during the last financial crisis still fresh, companies have moved quickly to avoid being cut off. The whole system seems to be blocked up and in need of some...financial fiber. How does 6 TRILLION sound? 

 

Imagine that: Gemini’s Winklevoss bros have released a marketplace for digital art.

Markets

 

Crowdfunding to the rescue?: Undeterred by market declines or perhaps in response to the changing landscape, crowdfunding is providing a valuable outlet.

 

Rubbish: The FCA gave a speech on the state of the market last month. One of the topics was, Market Cleanliness. All the hand sanitizing enforcement in the world isn’t going to clean the current mess up.  

 

Nuvo accreditation: Accredited investing rules are getting a much needed look.
