ABOUT THE CONTENT

While cryptocurrencies take most of the hype, Blockchain has potential to offer new ways for banks and insurance companies to transact. Enterprises are exploring how to use the underlying distributed ledger technology to achieve business objectives. Microsoft, IBM, HPE, Oracle, SAP and others are offering Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) to help enterprises by providing an architecture, infrastructure and resources to maintain and deploy Blockchain initiatives.
[push h=5]
We’ll examine:

• What is the current level of impact blockchain has across Banking and Insurance?
• Is it yet a mainstream technology in this area?
• What are the implications of blockchain for existing Financial Services ecosystems?
• Is there a need for interoperability between blockchains in Financial Services?
• What is the current legal and regulatory position of blockchain in Banking and Insurance?
• What new use cases or investment models might be created by using blockchain?

• Technical accounting:

• Tokenization
• Fractional ownership of all assets (property bullion, etc.)
• Digital certificates instead of physical records

• New investment models:

• ICO’s (Initial Coin Offerings)
• Crowdfunding
• Peer to peer
• The shift towards STO’s (Security Token Offerings)
