Is Machine Learning taking over the Financial Ecosystem?

From the very first transactions being exchanging goods to dealing with cryptocurrency, finance has come a long way. As in any other domain, technology has become an integral part of the finance ecosystem. From an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) to withdraw your cash, to algorithmic trading, the technology around finance has evolved and it keeps evolving rapidly.
