SEC CHAIRMAN PAUL ATKINS: TOKENIZATION WILL BE THE FUTURE OF FINANCE

🔸 Tokenization means putting assets like stocks on the blockchain as tokens, which will increase transparency because businesses can know exactly who owns their shares.

🔸 Blockchain can shorten settlement times from T plus 1 to T equals 0, reducing risk and making markets safer faster.

🔸 Major banks and brokerages have already started moving to tokenization, and Chairman Atkins says the entire financial system could change in just a few years.

🔸 He said the SEC used to be a barrier to innovation, but those days are over, and the US wants to adopt blockchain to stay ahead.
