Industry Focus

Personal lending technology company Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST) went public a month ago and it's stock has nearly doubled since. In this week's Industry Focus: Financials, Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP, and host Jason Moser discuss what Upstart does and why investors are so excited. Then, the pair take a closer look at fintech startup SoFi, which is getting set to go public via a SPAC merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings V (NYSE: IPOE). And last but not least, we discuss the recent correction in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and why Matt and Jason aren't likely to buy bitcoin anytime soon.
