2. What’s old is new again. Mint shutdown drives new innovation in personal financial management. The last two months have brought a huge number of signups to other PFM products, most of which are paid. With more adoption comes new opportunities for these PFM’s and others.

5. Lots of fintech Series A’s and B’s. In 2022 and 2023, much of the fintech investment activity was concentrated on seed. As these early-stage companies mature, we will start to see Series A’s and B’s occur more frequently. Late stage fintech financing will continue to be challenging.

6. Bitcoin moons again. Maybe in 2024. Maybe in 2025. But soon enough. Also expect to start to see a mainstream stablecoin use case emerge in 2024.
