Reduction In Transaction Costs Leds Up Blockchain Distributed Ledger Market
Digital
technology has become prevalent in today’s world. It has touched
almost all aspects of life including conducting business, shopping,
enhancing education and learning, entertainment, and staying
connected with social world. In recent past, digital technology has
evolved further to aid in conducting financial transactions. Online
payments have gained huge traction along with card based payment
methods such as credit and debit cards. At the same time,
cryptocurrency also known as digital money is becoming increasingly
popular. Distributed ledgers support the payment system for digital
currency to operate in decentralized mode, by eliminating the need of
intermediaries such as banks. Distributed ledger technology further
enables tracking of financial transactions and makes it virtually
possible to track and trade any value via digital money. It provides
a robust environment for secure data sharing in real-time. Blockchain
is a type of distributed ledger system providing enhanced security to
the process. Blockchain comprises of blocks of digitally recorded
data, creating a distributed ledger. There are many different types
of distributed ledger systems, each obeying its own security and
privacy levels.

Use
of blockchain distributed ledger lends transparency to financial
transactions and eliminates middle man, thus reducing the transaction
costs. This is likely to drive the adoption of blockchain distributed
ledger in the coming years. As the complex process of paper work and
third party involvement extends the process of business transactions,
blockchain-enabled distributed ledgers are anticipated to change the
way business transactions take place. Moreover, enhanced security
levels for transactions is another factor contributing to the growing
influence of the technology. Distributed ledger systems are not
controlled by any centralized authority and are not limited by legal
rules. However, technology is governed by its own technical code.
Blockchain
distributed ledger technology is at its nascent stage and has
observed adoption mostly in financial sector. The cryptographic codes
are extremely robust, however security concerns as hackers are
constantly trying to break the authenticated cryptographic code and
lack of understanding of the technology have challenged the
proliferation of this technology.

Governments
in some countries are promoting the use of blockchain distributed
ledgers, to influence business and fiscal transparency to enhance
efficiency and reduce corruption within the country. For instance,
the U.S. government recommended the development of blockchain
distributed ledgers for their international partners during the
launch of “America Innovation Roadshow” in May 2016. Blockchain
finds its primary application in financial sector; however,
innovations in the next phase are expected to drive its use in
different applications such as smart contract. These contracts are
termed in computer language rather than legal language. Blockchain
ledger enables users to track and verify business agreement and
relationships.
Blockchain
distributed ledger can be categorized as unpermissioned ledgers and
permissioned ledgers depending on the type of ownership.
Unpermisssioned ledgers such as Bitcoin have single owner and anyone
is liable to contribute data to the ledger. While permissioned
ledgers might have one on many owners and are carried out by trusted
owners such as banks or government bodies. Blockchain supported
distributed ledgers find benefits in complex financial assets that
are not under central authority to mitigate the risks of trade and
regulate the process. Thus, products such as public and private
stocks/bonds, syndicate loans, FICC derivatives, corporate bonds, and
derivatives margin/collaterals are likely to benefit significantly
from the technology. The key players associated with blockchain
distributed ledger market include Chain, Inc., IBM Corporation, Intel
Corporation, Accenture PLC, and Eris Industries.
