Institutional Blockchain Adoption: What is the Current State and Where is it Heading?
In this episode, we explore how the latest cycle in the cryptocurrency market has impacted institutional adoption of the underlying technology; blockchain. Enterprise adoption of the technology is still prevalent. In Finance we are seeing blockchain technology adapted for multiple use cases, for instance, International Payments, to address some specific niches in Capital Markets, in Trade Finance, looking to solve Digital Ownership, looking to disrupt Loyalty and the tokenization of private assets. Within Financial Services, the ‘purists’ have been building underneath the hype. We will look at where institutional adoption of blockchain is at right now, what are some of the most applicable use cases, and where we might see it go in the future.
