🇺🇸 SEC Chairman Paul Atkins highlighted how dramatically the crypto market has evolved since Bitcoin emerged in 2008.

He described crypto as having grown from a niche curiosity into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class, with investors now actively seeking exposure to digital assets.

That shift is significant. Crypto is no longer limited to early adopters and specialized communities. It has increasingly become part of the broader investment conversation.

The next phase will likely focus heavily on clearer regulation, custody standards and how traditional financial institutions interact with digital assets.

The market has changed enormously in less than two decades and the regulatory framework around it is evolving alongside it.
