Market Developments

A feature of blockchain technology (distributed ledger technology) is its ability to enable secure, low-cost global management and trading of data without the need for a “reliable third party,” such as a bank or government.

The use of blockchain technology is spread across a wide array of financial fields, including: artwork traceability, electric power, etc.; small-lot investments in real estate; development of novel financial instruments; fund-raising by regional governing bodies aimed at economic revitalization; and other areas requiring settlement of funds using digital currencies such as fan-targeting businesses and game content and the use of blockchain in security tokens.

The use of blockchain technology has made possible a diverse range of products and services featuring dynamic innovation which makes comprehension of the complex array of relevant laws, regulations and rules difficult if viewed only through the perspective of the pre-existing framework.
