What's Wall Street Doing With Blockchains?
summary
Large banks report concrete pilots: an accelerator onboards startups like Everledger, a public experiment tests censorship‑resistant payments, a custodian runs internal “BK coins,” and one group counts 45 internal experiments exploring tokenised flows. Results say distributed ledgers often work on the tin but are hard to port into legacy systems, they don’t fix the last‑mile fiat problem, and success needs tight hypotheses, measurable metrics, early business buy‑in and plans to stop failed bets. Regulators gain by sharing a golden copy for auditability.
