Even as AI dominated headlines in 2025, fintech quietly found its footing—and in many cases, grew up.

Forbes’ 2026 spotlights the startups thriving in a more sober, unforgiving market—especially business-to-business fintechs powering everything from modern business banking to Wall Street software. This year’s list also includes AI-native first-timers, renewed strength in crypto and insurance, and a clearer view of who can scale when funding gets harder.

Chaos creates opportunity. Few recognize it in the moment; even fewer are willing to write a large check before the dust settles. Former Goldman Sachs trader Michael Novogratz had no trouble writing the check. What he didn’t yet grasp in December 2022 was how consequential his contrarian, defensive bet would be.

That month, with crypto reeling from the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX empire and the bankruptcies rippling outward, Novogratz’s Galaxy committed $65 million to acquire a 160-acre bitcoin mining operation in Dickens County, a sparsely populated expanse of Texas about 330 miles northwest of Austin.

“It most likely will be my best investment by a long shot,” says Novogratz, 61.

A new claim from Elon Musk’s father is drawing attention across crypto markets, suggesting the Musk family could be sitting on a massive Bitcoin position.

Errol Musk said Elon and Kimbal Musk hold around 23,400 BTC, worth roughly $1.7 billion at current prices. The claim is unverified, but if true, it would place them among the largest individual holders globally.

For context, Tesla and SpaceX together hold about 19,800 BTC, meaning the reported figure could include undisclosed personal holdings. Neither Elon nor Kimbal has confirmed ownership at that scale.

At the same time, X is pushing deeper into finance. The platform recently launched Cashtags, showing real time stock and crypto data, and is preparing to roll out X Money, a payments product with transfers, debit cards, and yield features.

If crypto integration is added, the overlap between personal holdings and platform reach could become significant. X has hundreds of millions of users, giving it potential scale few fintech platforms can match.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to climb, recently trading near $74,000. Markets are already pricing in further upside, with growing speculation around whether it can reach $100,000 by year end.

The bigger picture is convergence. Social platforms, payments, and crypto are starting to merge into one ecosystem.
