Blockchain 2015: Strategic Analysis in Financial Services Slides Deck

I couldn’t end the year without a mega deck on what has happened to the Blockchain in Financial Services, given my involvement in that industry. So, over the past 2 weeks, I put together this 67-slide deck that talks about what I’m seeing, and what I’m predicting for 2016.

This isn’t a survey of the marketplace that re-hashes known data points. Rather, it contains insights and strategic thoughts.

It covers:

1. A perspective on how FinTech started and linking that to the blockchain’s advent: were banks ready?
2. Outcomes for banking: positive or negative?
3. What is the Blockchain? (in simple, business language) – in 1 slide
4. Startups and Banks: what kind of relationship? (and some humor in the mix)
5. Themes that emerged in 2015 (blockchain vs. bitcoin, integrations, consortia, capital markets, valuations)
6. Sector Analysis: Applications and Solutions, Middleware and Services, Infrastructure and Protocols.
7. What should banks do? Challenges, Opportunities, Recommendations.
8. 2016 Predictions
