Lots of startups provide needed products and services. I don't think that's enough. They need to provide needed products/services in a way that can be sold/marketed profitably, and scaled profitably.
Yes. I always need 1 dollar for 95 cents.

I am currently graduating with a CS degree and interpreting this as a warning to not accept the offer from the exciting startup and instead accept the offer from the big corporate fintech company. Is there any reason I could be wrong?

You want to maximise your learning, as long as there isn't a massive salary discrepancy try to have a lengthy chat with your future tech lead and pick the one that seems better - ultimately this is the person you'll be learning from the most in the next few years.
And also, don't be scared to quit or change teams early. Don't stay longer than you have to.

Just be pragmatic about what companies you pick, the companies I view most skeptically during the downturns are the ones that cater to startups, like dev productivity startups, or those startup credit card companies, and given the chaos in the crypto markets, those don’t look like safe bets to me either. You can always ask about the company’s run rate, profitability, and war chest. They might not show you, but that is a sign also.
