If money has to flow in the economy through limited hubs then hubs automatically grow rich.

It should be a fundamental right in the capitalist country, right to process payment for any party. Today, we need special license/approval for this which limits the "access to disrupt" to few lucky people who have a connection in the big banks. Startups like stripe have to give away a chunk of their equity to old guards at big banks in return of access to a market.

Is this the best a capitalist country may offer?

I think the fear is that without this "license", you would have a bunch of "banks" that collect customers and then exit scheme to the Southeast Asia similar to the frequent ICO scams you see with cryptocurrencies
