The highly innovative American continent accounted for half of this, while another $77 billion was invested in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa).<\/p><p>Fintechs in the payments, blockchain and crypto space are particularly popular with funders. Driving factors are strong demand for instant payments, embedded finance, and thriving cryptocurrencies.<\/p><p>Berlin-based direct bank <em>N26<\/em> stands out as the most prominent German fintech investment.
