It will be interesting to see if Facebook has matured as an organization in recent years and can now navigate the tricky regulatory path surrounding crypto without making the sort of clumsy mis-steps it has taken in personal data.

Glad to see you have ignored the Facebook spin that they are doing this to foster Financial Inclusion. I think we know why they are doing it.

Love to see this. Shows a real demonstrable drive to change the DNA of the bank.
Not so surprising this should come first from BBVA. Interesting to see if more initiatives follow from other banks.

Crypto. Facebook. Zuck. Possibly even the Winklevi.
What could go wrong?

Sadly. That'd be a typo David. Now corrected to Innovathon.
Another busy day in the newsroom.
You can take INVATHON and run with it, though :-)

Curious departure for a bank's innovation lab. Not sure if we should applaud their pursuit of the application of each innovation, even if heading well off brief for a bank.
Interested to hear how far other bank innovation labs push their brief out beyond financial services?

First disintermediation. Then simply disruption. Most recently, collaboration. Now, consolidation.
Another phase in the evolution of fintech.

Blockchain will fix famine, solve world peace, cure diseases obvs - but not sure if even Blockchain can fix Facebook.

This is a good initiative. The general % of data smart / data aware people is way too low in most non-tech organizations. It is one blocker on digital transformation that slows progress and limits potential.
