Abstract: The evolution in the forms of financial capital serves as a crucial basis for assessing the development and transformation of financial capitalism. A defining feature of contemporary financial capitalism lies in the deep integration of financial capital with digital technology, where the two act as mutually reinforcing drivers and are profoundly advancing across institutional, corporate, and market domains. This process manifests in the digitization of financial institutions, the financialization of platform enterprises, and the collaborative expansion of financial capital and digital technology into broader financial markets. Using digital platforms as intermediaries, financial capital has established a complex rentseeking mechanism in nonmaterial production sectors, evolving from “monopolistic rentseeking” to “digital rentseeking”. The global exploitation of surplus value has intensified through financial hegemony and data hegemony. The deep integration of financial capital with digital technology has led to increased instability in the global financial system and further widened the global wealth gap, forming new mechanisms of accumulation and predation in contemporary financial capitalism.
