The Impact of Quantum Computing Investment on FinTech Venture Capital: A Panel Data Analysis (2015–2024)

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of quantum computing investment on venture capital flows into the FinTech sector, covering the period from 2015 to 2024. The objective is to examine whether increased global investments in quantum computing influence the amount of venture capital directed toward FinTech startups, thereby fostering innovation and growth in the industry. The study employs panel data analysis using econometric models, with independent variables such as global GDP, research and development expenditure, and quantum computing investments, among others. The primary hypothesis, which suggests a positive relationship between quantum computing investments and FinTech VC, is supported by the data. The analysis shows that quantum computing investments significantly contribute to venture capital inflows in FinTech, with other economic variables playing a secondary role. The econometric model reveals a high degree of goodness of fit, with quantum computing investment being the most statistically significant factor influencing venture capital
