Mason Nystrom comments that current data about capital deployment in crypto can be misleading. According to Nystrom, much of the capital attributed to the sector is primarily coming from fintech-related deals, particularly those investing in a subset of crypto such as stablecoins. He suggests that including fintech funds in the analysis gives the impression of more late-stage activity than may be the case for pure crypto investments.

Nystrom has previously noted that institutional investors often focus on user distribution, liquidity, and economics instead of privacy concerns, according to a recent analysis. He has also highlighted stablecoins’ capability to move funds instantly across borders as a major development in digital finance in an earlier commentary. These points provide context for the distinctions he draws between fintech and pure crypto investment activity.
