  • Embedded Finance? We Need Embedded Health
    A great app with great payment options doesn’t get me in to see a movie. Embedded finance is great but in the post-pandemic world, embedded health is essential. There's a fintech opportunity to bring the two together.
  • Most Blockchain Pitches I Hear Make No Sense, Yet I’m Sure That Blockchain Will Transform Business
    Many of the "blockchain" ideas I hear don't make any sense, yet I still think that the use of enterprise shared ledger (ESL) software will transform business just as much as enterprise resource planning (ERP) did a generation back.

  • Digital Cash As Legal Tender?
    We can learn a lot from studying the emerging behaviour of both public and private electronic cash to help us to reflect on whether cryptocurrency might one day become legal tender in, for example, the USA. I think it won't, but I also think it doesn't matter.

    China is home to not one but two fascinating experiments in what people have taken to calling “stablecoins”. One of them is the public electronic cash system run by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), known as the Digital Currency/Electronic … Continue reading →
  • Stablecoins and Soft Power
    The Libra Association has rebranded as the Diem Association and plans to launch its first digital currency, a USD dollar “stablecoin”, early this year so it’s time to think again about the implications of stablecoins. But first of all… here’s … Continue reading →
  • Show me the money
    In the UK, a committee of MPs has said that the Bank of England should be trying to track down £50bn of “missing” UK currency. This is about three-quarters of all UK banknotes in existence! So where is all of … Continue reading →
  • China and America both need new fintech regulation
