139.99 billion flowed into fintech; H2 battlefield is infrastructure and AI
Global fintech investment in the second half is expected to concentrate on stablecoin and digital-asset infrastructure, AI and agent commerce, an outlook said. Funding is likely to shift toward companies that have proven profitability and scalability, rather than simple technology experiments. KPMG named financial infrastructure as a key focus, citing expanding stablecoins and tokenised assets and demand to modernise legacy core systems at traditional financial institutions. Large payment-sector M&A is also expected to continue.
