You can't mention tech, fintech and electric cars without the future of the Apple Car. From their site: "Perhaps Apple's worst kept secret, the "Apple Car" is being developed for a 2024 or later release. Rumors speculate that it will be a fully featured self-driving electric vehicle that will compete with Tesla and other EVs. Apple could partner with other popular manufacturers like Hyundai or BMW, or seek another option."
The street has been talking how Apple is poised to be part of the crypto revolution. RBC Capital Markets, in a report says "Apple's install base is 1.5 billion, and even if we assume only 200 million users would transact, this is 6.66x larger than Square," according to the report. "Therefore, the potential revenue opportunity would be in excess of $40 billion a year (15% incremental top-line opportunity)."
News broke on Friday, February 12th that BitPay, the world's largest provider of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment services announced that US cardholders of the BitPay Prepaid Mastercard can add their card to Apple Wallet™ and spend with Apple Pay .

The industry is witnessing this evolution at a rapid speed and investors are seeing some of the biggest gains in a short period of time in the cleantech space. With President Biden's new initiatives and mandates for lower emissions, and global consumers growing demand for EV's, the addition of innovative fintech will help accelerate future growth.
