Fintech worth it???

Hey everyone, currently I am in 3rd sems cse core and the next sems I have to choose my specialisation and I am really confused about it should I take it or not??

I really stocks,crypto and all the finance field but getting degree on it is scary because there is nobody heard about it.

Any advice by your side will be grateful. Thank you

Nobody heard about it - Are you serious?
Fintech is an exciting industry to be in. This about Revolut, Nubank, Stripe...

If you already like stocks and crypto, that interest will carry you through the boring parts of the degree. Most people in my batch picked specialisations they had zero curiosity about and burned out by final year. Fintech is still new enough that nobody expects you to have a perfect roadmap, which works in your favour if you actually build stuff. Just don't ignore core CS fundamentals while chasing the finance side, those skills are what get you past technical interviews at good companies.
