$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ $Strategy(MSTR)$ $Affirm Holdings, Inc.(AFRM)$ 👀🚨📈💥 Breakouts Are Back: Watchlist Heat Meets 2026 Supercycle Potential 💥📈🚨
The forgotten giants of tech are stirring. In 2025, the fintech sector is showing signs of a structural reawakening after a brutal 2022 reset. What began as quiet base-building is now translating into aggressive breakouts, and institutional capital is moving.
With the 10-year Treasury yield back near 3.5 percent, inflation cooling to 2.8 percent, and credit origination up 15 percent year-over-year, the macro regime is finally turning accommodative. Global mobile adoption, especially across emerging markets, is driving fresh demand for alternative banking and payment platforms. Q2 fintech ETF inflows have already hit 2.3 billion dollars.
This isn’t a dead-cat bounce, it’s the early stage of a multi-year supercycle. And the asymmetric upside is just getting started.
