State Street Explains...

Blockchain in Five

It powers the Bitcoin system, but can enable many other financial applications and interactions.

Having a shared, validated and distributed ledger can help speed reconciliation, shorten settlement time and automate processes.

Blockchain applications behave the way we

need them to — open and public, or permission-

based and private.

Cryptography is a key part of a blockchain.

It ensures the data can be distributed and

still be secure.

Huge potential that will only be unlocked through

experimentation and by addressing regulatory,

governance and technical challenges.
