This week's wrap covers the big themes shaping tech and finance from February 23 to March 2, 2026. Nvidia posted a $68 billion quarter as AI infrastructure spending accelerated, with hyperscalers on track to collectively spend close to $700 billion on data centers this year.

Meanwhile, fintech and crypto sectors made structural moves that could reshape banking: Payoneer filed for a national bank charter, Stripe's stablecoin subsidiary Bridge received conditional federal approval, and firms including Circle, Ripple, BitGo and Paxos are positioning as regulated financial institutions.

We also cover agentic commerce, vertical AI startup funding, and what this week's market signals say about where capital is flowing in 2026.
