In the heart of America’s Midwest, Nebraska is quietly emerging as a formidable hub for financial technology, challenging the dominance of coastal innovation centers. The recent Flyover Fintech conference, held in Lincoln on September 23, 2025, underscored this shift, drawing national experts to discuss everything from artificial intelligence in banking to the regulatory frameworks shaping stablecoins. Hosted by U.S. Congressman Mike Flood at the Nebraska Innovation Campus, the event highlighted the state’s strategic advantages, including a skilled workforce, supportive legislation, and partnerships between academia and industry.
Attendees, including representatives from PayPal, Circle, and Telcoin, emphasized Nebraska’s potential to lead in fintech amid a national push for decentralized finance. As Silicon Prairie News reported, speakers argued that the state’s infrastructure and talent pool position it to compete globally, with calls to amplify Nebraska’s innovation narrative.
