<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
MrBeast is expanding his $400 million empire beyond YouTube into financial services and telecom with MrBeast Financial and Beast Mobile. A trademark filing reveals plans for banking, financial advisory, crypto exchange services, and more, wrapped in financial literacy content targeting his 450 million subscribers. The move into regulated banking is unusual and risky for creators, even with licensing partnerships to handle compliance and infrastructure.

<strong>Sequoia bets on AI startup to ease wealth advisers' grunt work (3 minute read)</strong>
</span>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
Nevis is building AI tools that lift the administrative burden off wealth advisers, betting firmly that neither robo nor AI systems will replace humans in a field built on trust and long-term relationships. The startup's pitch lands at a critical moment: the US wealth-management industry is heading toward a projected shortage of 100,000 advisers by 2034, even as client demand continues to rise. With a new $35M Series A led by Sequoia, Iconiq, and Ribbit, Nevis aims to expand far beyond meeting summaries and email drafts into deeper operational workflows, positioning itself as the efficiency engine that helps advisers scale rather than disappear.

<strong>The Crypto trade that turned 2,600% gains into an 86% bloodbath (6 minute read)</strong>

<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
The "digital asset treasury" strategy, where public companies buy crypto with corporate cash to boost their stock prices, has spectacularly imploded. What started as one of 2025's hottest trades, with some companies soaring over 2,600%, has turned disastrous: the median DAT stock is down 43% this year, while Bitcoin fell only 6%, with many companies now worth less than the tokens they hold and facing mounting debt obligations.

Intuit has launched QuickBooks Payments in the UK, adding one-click "Pay Now" buttons to invoices that the company claims help businesses get paid three times faster. The new pay-by-bank and pay-by-card functionality aims to tackle a problem that costs the UK economy an estimated £2.5 billion annually in delayed payments. 52% of UK small businesses are owed an average of £21,000 in unpaid invoices and spend up to 30 hours monthly chasing payments.

Mastercard has introduced a new suite called Credit Intelligence that gives lenders faster and more holistic insights so they can make better credit decisions for consumers and small businesses. By combining Mastercard network signals with traditional data sources, lenders can assess thin-file borrowers more accurately and uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed. The platform aims to make lending more personalized and inclusive by streamlining underwriting and enabling secure, permissioned access to richer financial data.

A nonprofit is testing whether crypto can function as a modern safety net by giving select New Yorkers $12,000 in digital cash over five months. The program, funded by Coinbase through GiveDirectly, mixes $800 monthly USDC payments with an $8,000 lump sum to help residents handle larger expenses like deposits or education programs. Early feedback suggests people may value and use crypto differently than traditional aid, offering insight into whether digital payments could play a bigger role in future guaranteed income experiments.

Major financial firms are jockeying for the chance to manage a new federally backed savings program that gives children born during Trump's second term a $1,000 starter account. Early contenders like JPMorgan Chase, Charles Schwab, Robinhood, and BlackRock are preparing pitches to become the Treasury's designated financial agent. The initiative just received a major boost from Michael and Susan Dell, who committed $6.25 billion to seed 25 million accounts. Several large employers, including Nvidia, Uber, and T-Mobile, are exploring contribution-matching plans.
