Blockchain
is an open shared distributed decentralized ledger that can register all the
transaction between parties (nodes) in a secure and encrypted way. Imaging it
as an open database that all parties and all participants have access to the
transactions all the time. This means faking the data and manipulation of
information is near to impossible as there is no centralized authority holding
or controlling the transactions.
FinTechblockchain applications are witnessing an increasing demand across the financial
industry. Applications such as payments, smart contracts, and compliance
management/KYC are assisting banks, investment banks, and insurance companies
to enhance their efficiency and reduce infrastructure cost. The non-banking
financial services, such as asset management and wealth management, are
expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, due to the growing
importance of FinTech blockchain applications. This, in turn, is expected to
enhance the customer satisfaction, prevent fraudulent transactions, provide
faster transactions, and reduce total cost of ownership.
