Throughout history, middleman and facilitators have always made the most money / provide the greatest value. No bank starts out owning assets, rather they provide a service that facilitates global trade — whether that is by M&A, sourcing investors for debt financing or otherwise they have always played the role of the middleman / facilitator. Same goes for Uber, Facebook, AirBnb and other players in the field. Neither of these companies own any physical assets, what they do is provide a service that aggregates these assets and provide a stamp of credibility through quality control.
In summary, be the middleman. That is where the money / value is.
