・Fintech業界の最重要プレイヤー「Plaid」を理解する
Fintechサービスを調べるとほぼ必ずと言っていいほど出てくるPlaidですが、インフラとして機能しフロントに出てこないことから、その成り立ちやビジネスモデルはあまり知られていないかもしれません。
ただ、Plaidは銀行データへのアクセスという観点だけでなく、ACHやRTPなど決済ネットワークへの接続、オープンファイナンス、IDなど、Fintechを超えた領域にまで大きな影響を及ぼす、Fintech業界最重要プレイヤーと言ってもいいほどの存在です。
今回は、これまで意外と取り上げてこなかったPlaidについて深く語っています。

・Twitterは金融Super Appになれるか
会社名がXになったTwitterは、イーロン・マスクのもと、金融を含むスーパーアプリになるべく動きを続けています。去年11月には決済事業に関わる免許を子会社が取得したり、先日はeToroと提携し、株式情報をTwitter上により詳細に表示するなどの施策を打っています。
AIやロケットなど、様々な文脈で語られるイーロン・マスクですが、元を辿ればPayPalマフィアであることもあり、金融に対する動きも大きな注目になりそうです。
