Market and Industry

According to Research and Markets, the blockchain industry market will grow from $544.2 million in 2018 to $2,312.5 million by 2021, with an annual growth (CAGR) of 61.5%.
Blockchain banking is a new direction in the development of the finance industry. As experts point out it is much faster, more efficient and less error prone than the traditional automatic clearing bank (ACH); this type of banking can save money and time for banks and make payments almost instantaneous for consumers. In addition, the decentralized nature of blockchain makes it difficult for criminals to commit fraudulent actions.  [http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/blockchain-market-to-grow-at-a-cagr-of-615-by-2021-bfsi-sector-is-expected-to-dominate-the-market-during-the-forecast-period---research-and-markets-300470481.html], [https://thenextweb.com/contributors/2017/08/27/future-of-digital-banking/#.tnw_dkU9ixYG]
