Folge 014 - Blockchain Technology in Financial Institutions

As heated as some debates were at the beginning, blockchain-based
applications have long since become a part of banking. Not just
today, but also in the future. The number of use cases is growing
inexorably, whether in tokenization, the settlement of securities
transactions, or in the area of digital currencies. But beyond
investments, blockchain technology remains invisible in the
everyday lives of most consumers. This makes it all the more
intriguing to ask why not only financial institutions continue to
work intensively on and with blockchain, and why, according to the
vast majority of experts, its importance will continue to grow. In
this episode, we welcome Kara Kennedy. She is Global Co-Head of
Kinexys at JPMorgan. Together, we want to shed light on the current
discussion about blockchain, what use cases already exist, and what
role banks will play in a potential new infrastructure. Not only
here in Germany, but also outside the EU – in the UK.
