Trump’s Position on Crypto Paves the Way to Overhaul Wall Street

Major crypto platforms are now targeting the $62 trillion stock market. Their goal, they say, is to let investors trade “tokenized” stocks globally at any hour, without the limits of traditional market schedules.

SEC Unveils “Project Crypto” to Boost Blockchain Integration in Financial Markets

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently launched an initiative called “Project Crypto,” aimed at updating securities regulations to better support crypto-based financial systems.
