[Fidelity CEO: Wall Street Will Be Forced to Embrace Blockchain Technology] Fidelity Investments CEO Abigail Johnson stated that the traditional financial system is built on a complex network of reconciliation processes based on 'primitive technology.' Johnson pointed out that while blockchain will eventually replace existing systems, the transformation requires the push of competitive pressure and regulatory standards. Fidelity has been betting on blockchain since 2013, with its Bitcoin ETF reaching a scale of $20 billion, second only to BlackRock. Johnson firmly believes that competition and regulation will ultimately force traditional financial institutions to adopt new technology.
