In this episode, host Don Ginsel discusses the latest trends in fintech with Nik Milanović, the Founder & Fintech Enthusiast-in-Chief of “This Week in Fintech.” They explore the shifting landscape of fintech, particularly the role of traditional banks and the rising interest in stablecoins. Milanović explains how banks are cautiously adopting crypto-related strategies but remain uncertain due to market volatility and global economic concerns. They discuss the challenges faced by banks with fintech competition, especially from companies like Wise and Revolut, and the necessity for banks to integrate fintech products under their brand rather than launching separate apps. The conversation also touches on the state of fintech M&A, the rise of fraud in financial services, and the impact of AI. Milanović emphasizes the need for patience in evaluating AI’s role in fintech, given its hype cycle. Finally, they preview the upcoming Stablecon.com conference in New York!
