Blockchain

Mutual distributed ledgers, enabled by blockchain, are changing the nature of trust in financial services, with profound implications.

The message is getting out that blockchain can allow for a central database, at a time when people are rethinking wholesale insurance.

The question is how to regulate enough to protect consumers while not stifling innovation.
