The financial landscape of 2026 represents a watershed moment in the history of retail investing. For decades, the machinery of wealth creation, the stock market, was effectively gated by high barriers to entry.

A convergence of technological innovation, regulatory shifts, and fierce competition among financial institutions has dismantled these barriers, ushering in an era of radical democratization.
