From the same people who created an [epilepsy monitor](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dialog-by-artefact), this bracelet will track people's financial information and spending to ensure that they are completely aware of where their money is going. Token by Artefact is meant to take [financial apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incentivized-budgeting) to the next level. Not only will it sync to all of the wearer's debit and credit cards, it would allow people to make transactions via Bluetooth. Although still in its conceptual stage, this could be achieved by simply bumping another user's fist. With touch technology and fingerprint securities, Token by Artefact is a great tool for many. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Financial Wearables:** Token by Artefact introduces wearable technology for money management, tracking financial information and spending. - **Next-level Financial Apps:** Token by Artefact aims to revolutionize financial apps by syncing with debit and credit cards and enabling Bluetooth transactions. - **Touch Technology Security:** Token by Artefact utilizes touch technology and fingerprint security for a secure financial management experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fintech:** Token by Artefact aligns with the fintech industry, offering innovative solutions for money management through wearable technology. - **Wearable Technology:** Token by Artefact falls within the wearable technology industry, introducing a novel way to track financial information and make transactions. - **Mobile Payments:** Token by Artefact presents disruption opportunities in the mobile payments industry by enabling Bluetooth transactions and user-friendly money management. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Credit Card-Eliminating Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulwrist.md) - [Wearable Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tband.md) - [Health-Tracking Sleek Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-one.md) - [Calming Haptic Tokens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchpoint-solution.md) - [Mindful Finance Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paktol-app.md) - [Educational Finance Child Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mellow-watch.md) - [Advanced Wallet-Friendly Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aircard.md) - [Wearable Fitness Tracker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allai-wearable1.md) - [E Ink Crypto Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledger-flex.md)
