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.
