💰 Money20/20 Wraps Up

Money20/20, the major financial technology (fintech) conference brought the biggest names in web2 together with a healthy dose of blockchain based web3 companies mixed in.

Live from @money2020. #Cryptocurrency continues to gain ground in payments worldwide | @jesshoulgrave of @Checkout & May Zabaneh of @PayPal join @CNBC’s @Hugh_Son for panel on #crypto in #payments at #Money2020USA | #blockchain #BTC

Compared to 2021, this years conference offered a significantly larger portion of sessions and conversation focused around blockchain tech, the regulation aspect and how it’s being integrated into day to day business.

Meagan Loyst 🧚‍♀️ @meaganloyst

To summarize our #Money2020 Web3 panel... it's not if, but when! 👫 So much fun to share the stage with @megan_crypto, @rkhanna, @sophgoldb, and @CatchKristen ✨💸 I highlighted @veefriends (a @LererHippeau portco) as a prime example of a thriving Web3 community 🤝

Web2.5 was a term heard often at the conference and the idea makes sense. The future of fintech is built on the concept of digital technology and that’s exactly where the blockchain lives.

TLDR: Blockchain (web3) technology is integrating and merging with fintech
