Hey all, Jason here.
Alex Johnson, creator of the Fintech Takes newsletter, and I are happy to bring you the latest episode of our monthly podcast, Fintech Recap, where we unpack some of the biggest stories in fintech, banking, and crypto.
In this year-end episode, Alex and I took a look back at major themes and stories from 2025 and look ahead to 2026. We had the chance to discuss:
The major shifts in the US banking regulatory landscape
The explosive growth of interest in stablecoins
Open banking’s setbacks
Why everything seems to be gambling now
Fintech IPOs
Our predictions for 2026, such as they are
And, as always, what we just can’t let go of
