Fintech Market Update: 2025 Year in Review

Back to news articles

GCG’s FinTech Year in Review Market Update provides a detailed analysis including public comparable company data, valuation trends, and notable M&A and growth equity transactions that shaped the market throughout the year.

This report covers the following 10 subsectors:

  • BankTech
  • Payments
  • Capital Markets Technology
  • WealthTech
  • InsurTech
  • MortgageTech
  • Real Estate Tech
  • Financial SaaS
  • GRC Software
  • Data & Information Services

Key findings include the following:

  • The bid-ask spread in M&A is narrowing, but not evenly. Buyers are moving decisively on platforms with regulatory stickiness and embedded workflow dependencies. They are not moving on revenue growth alone.
  • AI is forcing a vendor rationalization cycle in GRC, BankTech, and Financial SaaS simultaneously – not because AI is replacing these platforms, but because the compliance and explainability requirements it creates are raising the floor for credible competitors.
  • The Capital Markets Technology infrastructure buildout around T+1 and extended-hours trading is a multi-year spend cycle. The market is underwriting it as a cyclical event. It isn’t.
