Fintech Is Rebuilding Capital Markets, From AI to Crowdfunding Startups

Capital markets are kind of like poetry: The words imply many different things at once and the profitable industry behind it is dominated by a well-educated elite fluent in complicated words that make little sense in the world of what we can see, taste and touch. Unlike poetry, it's never sexy to rattle off capital market jargon on a date while strumming guitar ballads. Investors usually pay experts to help them navigate the lucrative chaos, from the stock exchange to commercial real estate. But now emerging technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence software tools are changing the game. Fintech is making capital markets more accessible and transparent than ever before.
