Dan DeFrancesco

Dan is senior finance reporter at Business Insider, based in New York. He covers financial technology, market structure and cryptocurrency. Whether it's a startup looking to disrupt the way Wall Street trades or a big bank hoping to keep pace with the evolving markets, Dan focuses on how financial firms both big and small look to leverage interesting, innovative technology. His coverage includes artificial intelligence and machine learning, the public cloud, alternative data, and the struggles firms sometimes face when trying to use the often complex technology. Some of Dan's previous stories include everything from the inside story of Robinhood's failed "Checking and Savings" product that eventually led to Congress getting involved and the internal arguments over JPMorgan's failed attempt to launch a finance app for millennials to how big banks are trying to hold on to a corporate bond market that is quickly slipping through their fingers with the electronification of the space.
