The finance industry and others are moving to a blockchain, it has not yet been adopted in full or implemented.
my personal suspicion is that the finance industry will never find a use for a public blockchain. i've heard of people who've attended some of these professional conferences coming back with the impression that very few of the attendees knew anything about it and were there to look cool.
but that's ok because real people will force them to deal with it whether they like it or not.
I work on finance industry, with IT at a Multinational Bank, directly with CEOs. I can confirm most people working on research and attending weekly conferences within banking corporation CEOs know NOTHING - I repat: NOTHING about crypto and some top analysts don't even have had contact with Bitcoin or any other coin whatsoever. Such a shame.
As nearly a perfect implementation of a trustless blockchain as Bitcoin is, the Financial/banking industry has absolutely zero interest in using it, for ONE reason only:
Because they can't corner the Bitcoin market at this point. And a market that they can't corner and/or rig (in favor of the wealthy elite) is a market that they can't control.
That should be telling us all something. That we should be using Bitcoin only, and use absolutely nothing that the Finance world would eventually promote.
I've got something that can relate to this
For anonymity, I'd like to mention a certain popular bank in my country that had once provided BTC cash-out services, but following the recent month's crazy spikes, the service was indefinitely suspended.
A surprising number of low-middle class IT students in my area have been benefiting allot prior to this. It really isn't fair for their options to become limited, but at least there are still 2 other slightly lesser known banks open to this service. But on a side note: One had a serious hack/glitch issue so trust problems had arisen. The other is extremely secured and trusted, but have limited branches compared to the other two.
So inside my little town, I do also believe... and experience at first hand.... that the banking/financial industry at a majority not dependable with bitcoin in the near future.
