The time has come to stop talking about the characteristics of BLOCKCHAIN and to start realizing its promise.

This is the uncompromising view of one of the financial IT leaders whom we interviewed for this edition of Financial IT. We agree entirely.

Financial institutions and IT companies have been collaborating in order to get a better understanding of Blockchain for at least two years. However, what makes late 2016 different to, say, late 2015 is that some of these organizations are now actually at the point of introducing products and solutions that are based on Blockchain’s distributed ledger technology.
