There was lots of talk at Money20/20 about the slowdown in IPOs and mergers, but one topic got very little airplay at the country’s biggest fintech conference: the U.S. presidential election.

Whoever is elected on November 5—Vice President Kamala Harris or Former President Donald Trump—will have a huge impact on businesses as well the regulations that govern them. But the more than 10,000 fintech entrepreneurs, bankers and investors from over 90 countries who attended Money20/20 in Las Vegas last week didn’t appear ready to discuss the issue.
