BlockBeats News, December 7th, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins stated that he expects the entire U.S. financial market to migrate to blockchain technology supporting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency within the next two years.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, in an interview with Fox Business, stated, "This will not only be a trend for the next 10 years, but it could also become a reality in a short two years. The next step will come with digital assets, market digitization, and tokenization, which will bring 'enormous benefits' for transparency and risk management."
