😵 2026 Predictions: Block Acquires Plaid. Stripe Stays Private. Robinhood Opens a Cafe.
A new year, a new stack—and some very specific fintech chaos.
In the first episode of 2026, we make three bold predictions that sound fake until you remember how weird money has already gotten. Block makes a power move by acquiring Plaid and controlling fintech’s front door. Stripe skips the IPO yet again, proving patience might be the ultimate flex. And Robinhood? It stops being just an app and opens a café, turning markets into a live, social experience.
No charts. No jargon. Just sharp takes on how fintech, culture, and money collide next. Welcome to 2026.
