TL;DR: Everyone claims AI is revolutionizing productivity but most people I talk to aren’t seeing it. This piece is a grounded take on the gap between AI hype and real-world results. There are gains in narrow tasks and for junior staff, but the impact is uneven. Often overstated and rarely transformational these are. In this article, I explore wha...

Prakash Bhudia HOD – Product & Growth at Deriv
Remember when Bitcoin was the scrappy outsider of finance, a rebellious bet for techies, libertarians, and Reddit traders? Well, times have changed. These days, Bitcoin is cleaning up nicely - getting scooped up by big corporations, rebranded by Wall Street, and even tossed around in political punch-ups. This isn’t just a glow-up. It’s a full-blow...

Farnam Rami Founder at DevPay Turkey
As a founder working at the intersection of regulation, design, and financial access, I’ve come to believe that the future of digital finance won’t be defined by how fast we build — but by how deeply we prepare.

In online commerce, every successful transaction counts. When a payment fails—due to fraud checks, technical issues, or user error—it can result in lost revenue and a frustrated customer who may not return. For merchants, improving transaction success rates isn’t just about fixing errors behind the scenes; it’s about creating a smooth, reliable ex...

Alexander Morsakov Head of Business Development at FinOn Payment Solutions
Most BaaS platforms start out by outsourcing their 3D Secure Access Control Server (ACS) — and for a while, it works. But then the friction starts: integration bottlenecks, slow updates, black-box risk models, and rising per-transaction fees. We’ve seen this pattern across the industry. At FinOn, where we work closely with fintechs and payment inst...

Jacob Bennett Co-Founder at Crux Analytics
From 2016 to 2023, I ran a boutique innovation consultancy based in Brooklyn. As a former small business owner, I saw firsthand the daily challenges, but the thing that always stood out was how slow, reactive banking support added pressure instead of relieving it. When cash flow tightened or large expenses that preceded a project hit, my bank rema...
