New to FIN? Here’s Our Story—and Why FIN Is a Must-Read
FIN is the smartest, most comprehensive guide to fintech innovation and its impact on business, culture and society. Led by award-winning journalist, editor in chief and publisher Holly Sraeel and founded by award-winning business journalist, editor and author James Ledbetter, FIN is one of the top 50 technology newsletters on Substack. Its stories reveal just how fast-moving and, at times, unexpected the fintech industry is, with a pace that is only accelerating across artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, payments and lending, wealthtech, insurtech, and the big money behind fintech's greatest innovators.
Since its launch (originally as James Ledbetter’s FIN), the newsletter has continued to capture, probe and predict the innovations that best represent the future of fintech while also examining the many failings and obstacles along the way. We landed an exclusive interview with Square cofounder Jim McKelvey, documented the problematic growth of Buy Now, Pay Later plans, chronicled the downfall of Facebook’s attempt to create an international digital currency, and broke the news about New York State’s groundbreaking restrictions around Bitcoin mining. And, of course, we're always doling out penetrating insights about cryptocurrency market gyrations, crypto company fiascos and choppy attempts at regulatory oversight. FIN’s observations and analysis have been avidly consumed by millions of loyal readers, thanks to being widely cited in media outlets, including National Public Radio, CNBC, FORTUNE, Forbes and Business Insider.
