Milanović explains how banks are cautiously adopting crypto-related strategies but remain uncertain due to market volatility and global economic concerns. They discuss the challenges faced by banks with fintech competition, especially from companies like Wise and Revolut, and the necessity for banks to integrate fintech products under their brand rather than launching separate apps. The conversation also touches on the state of fintech M&A, the rise of fraud in financial services, and the impact of AI.
