Blockchain Business

Date:

Financial Services

Traditional systems are usually cumbersome, error-prone and rather very slow. Intermediaries do often need to mediate the process and also resolve conflicts. Naturally, this does mean stress, time, and also money. On the other hand, users do find the blockchain cheaper, more transparent, and more effective. It is an accepted fact that a growing number of financial services are making use of this system in order to introduce innovations, such as smart bonds as well as smart contracts. The former automatically does pay bondholders their respective coupons once certain preprogrammed terms are actually met. The latter is, in fact, digital contracts that do self-execute and also self-maintain, again when the terms are met.

Asset Management: Trade Processing and Settlement

Traditional trade processes within the asset management where parties trade and also manage assets can be very expensive and also risky, particularly when it involves cross-border transactions. Each of the party in the process, such as broker, custodian, or the settlement manager, do keep their own records which indeed create significant inefficiencies and also sufficient room for error. The blockchain ledger does reduce error by encrypting the records. At the same time, the ledger also simplifies the process, while canceling the need for intermediaries.

Insurance: Claims processing

Claims processing can also be a frustrating and a rather thankless procedure. Insurance processors have to in fact go through fraudulent claims, fragmented data sources, or even abandoned policies for users in order to state a few and also to process these forms manually. Room for error is huge. The blockchain provides a perfect system for risk-free management as well as transparency. Its encryption properties do allow insurers to capture the ownership of assets to be insured.

Payments: Cross-Border Payments

The global payments sector is indeed error-prone, costly, and also open to money laundering. It takes days if not longer for money to cross the world. The blockchain is in fact already providing solutions with the remittance companies.

Smart Property

Tangible or even intangible properties such as cars, houses, or cookers, on the one hand, or patents, property titles, or even company shares, on the other, can have smart technology embedded in them. Such registration can be stored on the ledger along with the contractual details of others who are allowed ownership in this property. Smart keys could be used to facilitate access to the permitted party. The ledger stores do allow the exchange of these smart keys once the contract is verified.

The decentralized ledger does also become a system for recording and also managing property rights as well as enabling the rather smart contracts to be duplicated if records or even if the smart key is lost.

Making property smart does decrease one’s risks of running into a fraud, mediation fees, and questionable business situations. At the same time, it also increases trust and efficiency.
