$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ $Strategy(MSTR)$ $Affirm Holdings, Inc.(AFRM)$ ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฅ Breakouts Are Back: Watchlist Heat Meets 2026 Supercycle Potential ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿšจ

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 isnโ€™t a dead-cat bounce, itโ€™s the early stage of a multi-year supercycle. And the asymmetric upside is just getting started.

๐Ÿง  Conclusion: Positioning Into the Next Fintech Supercycle

This isnโ€™t hype, this is hedge fund rotation in action. Valuations are lean, technicals are tight, and catalysts are active. The rate regime is shifting, capital is returning, and digital finance is regaining institutional favour.

Fintech may be the most mispriced growth opportunity heading into 2026. If youโ€™re not building a position now, youโ€™re likely to chase higher.
