Blockchain: Institutional Adoption Revolutionizing the Financial Industry

Institutional adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies have increased across many industries. According to the PwC Global Blockchain Survey, 84% of organizations are engaged in experimentation, with 15% currently live and a total of 52% of blockchain projects in a development or research phase. Financial services are leading blockchain innovation with numerous use cases, architectures, and business models, yet they face similar challenges in achieving growth or mass adoption. The introduction of crypto assets, such as Bitcoin, into investment portfolios, are also changing asset allocation models and research techniques for both institutional and retail clients.

On November 20, Winston & Strawn and The MIT Enterprise Forum New York City will co-host a CLE panel and networking reception in the firm’s New York office. Panelists will share their insights and visions for the future while debating some of the biggest barriers that need to be overcome by the industry.
