Digital assets are disrupting the entire financial market, and every organization and industry that is a customer of the financial services industry (FSI). Financial instruments, from money to stocks, and the infrastructure for any type of transaction, is changing—for the better.
FROM PHYSICAL TO DIGITAL
In our 2021 Global Blockchain Survey, we uncovered several findings that illustrate a seismic shift in financial services resulting from the evolution of blockchain-based digital assets. We also identified a subset of FSI respondents that we term Pioneers—individuals whose organizations have deployed blockchain solutions into production and/or integrated digital assets into their core business activities. What further distinguishes FSI Pioneers is their vision of blockchain and digital assets as a top-five strategic priority.

The fundamental impact on deposits creates an important opportunity for banks and all industries that hold assets.
