Digital Assets and Blockchain

Blockchain, the software technology that enables the creation and operation of a shared, decentralized database, is changing the way companies, investors, and financial services companies do business.

Whether it’s bringing transparency to a supply chain, reducing risk in financial transactions or defining ownership and value of NFTs, blockchain is much more than a Bitcoin database and markets across all sectors are being transformed by the technology.
