Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
A new stage at Disrupt 2026 will explore the “evolution” of money. Because what’s new is always better, right? The focus is on financial technology, or fintech, because adding “tech” to the end of a word makes it sound innovative. The stage will likely feature various startups and companies touting their “disruptive” solutions. And, of course, this is being hailed as a “progression” of money.
Original observation: Because rebranding existing concepts as “fintech” is the ultimate form of financial innovation.
