Welcome to another Friday Fintech Roundup:
1) Fintech companies facilitated between $20 and $25 billion in buy now, pay later transactions last year in the U.S. alone. That indicates that the buy now, pay later segment of payments is trending and will likely be a huge part of the payments market going forward.
2) CoinStats, a cryptocurrency portfolio management platform, has raised $1.2 million in a pre-seed funding round.
3) Robinhood has confidentially filed for IPO. The number of shares and price has yet to be determined.
4) MoneyGram has launched a new MoneyGram-as-a-Service product aimed at enterprise clients.
5) UK-based Revolut is aiming to become a full-service online bank for 1 million Americans by the end of the year.
6) Fidelity is joining the race to introduce the first bitcoin ETF.
7) CrowdStreet hit its stride last year and grew by $640 million in more than 90 deals, while fighting the pandemic and social distancing guidelines. Nice stretch.
