Peter Grosskopf

Wow. Wir wurden gestern mit AllUnity auf der Bitkom #digifin Veranstaltung zum "Fintech des Jahres - Newcomer" ausgezeichnet. Das hat für mich eine besondere Bedeutung ... 

Erst mal durfte ich zum zweiten Mal auf die Bühne, wie schon vor Jahren mit der Solaris SE. 

Außerdem sehe ich hier eine wesentliche Entwicklung: jahrelang wurden Fintech und Krypto als zwei verschiedene Branchen behandelt, dabei sind beide dafür angetreten die Finanzinfrastruktur grundlegend zu verändern.

Wie wir inzwischen gelernt haben, wurde der Fintech Bereich in den letzten Jahren ziemlich ausgewaschen. Nur wenige wesentliche Disruptionen haben sich durchgesetzt. Nur wenige Player wie zB SumUp haben es geschafft an der Infrastruktur etwas zu verändern. Ansonsten ist diese weitestgehend gleich geblieben. Der Rest ist in Kooperationen mit Banken oder anderen Institutionen aufgegangen. 

Ich sage schon lange, dass wir mit #Blockchains, Decentralized Finance (#DeFi) und #Stablecoins nun eine neue Infrastruktur sehen, mit der man #Fintech, #Banking und #Payments komplett neu denken kann. Globaler, schneller, transparenter und günstiger. 

Auf der Veranstaltung gestern sprach ich von "neuen Schläuchen". Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass wir eine neue Welle von Fintechs sehen werden, basierend auf Stablecoins, Blockchain und DeFi. Als "Fintech des Jahres" dürfem wir als Krypto Unternehmen uns nun auch zu den Fintechs zählen. Es kommt nun zusammen was in meinen Augen immer zusammen gehörte. Wir werden in einer paar Jahren sehen, ob wir neuen Fintechs nicht vielleicht sogar das erreichen werden, was die Generation vorher immer erreichen wollten: eine echte Disruption der Infrastruktur. 

Wir bedanken uns bei der Jury Kevin Hackl Dr. Lea Maria Siering Stefan Krautkrämer Aiga Senftleben Jessica Holzbach Miriam Wohlfarth, Payment & Banking - PBA Experts GmbH und allen weiteren Beteiligten. Außerdem bedanken wir uns bei unseren Shareholdern und Supportern DWS Group Galaxy Flow Traders Alexander Bechtel Stefan Hoops André M. Bajorat

Außerdem natürlich ein großer Dank an unser Team (Alexander Hoeptner Simon Seiter Alpay Soytürk, Dr. (iur.), LL.M. Luis Schaubhut Emmanuel Acquah Syuzanna Avanesyan Meglena Grueva Sadra Sememy und viele mehr). Es ist unfassbar, wie viel wir zusammen in den letzten 12 Monaten zusammen geschafft und aufgebaut haben. Und ich freue mich darauf, was noch alles kommt. LFG! 🚀
