THE DIGITAL SECURITIES MARKET
IS SHIFTING
The initial motivation for the development of the Digital
Securities industry was digitization of non liquid assets
Over the past year major banks and institutional
players started moving into the industry
recognizing that this technology ecosystem is
significantly superior to current technology for
issuing, managing and settling securities.
10. 10
Using blockchain, transaction verification, control, recording
and sharing across business entities is immediate and
immutable; resulting in higher speed, efficiency and security
Blockchain technology can enhance data security and protect
data against manipulation
CORPORATEPROCESSES
Sharing data across business entities is a difficult, cumbersome,
and sensitive process. Blockchain technology makes it simple
and immediate while keeping the whole process more secure
TRANSACTION PROCESSING
DATA SECURITY/ PRIVACY
DATA SHARING
Blockchain and tokenization through the use of smart contracts
allows automating enforcement of regulations, business rules,
and process compliance during business execution
Supply chain management involves complex cross corporate
transactions, data sharing, tracking, control, and status
updates. Blockchain simplifies and speeds up this process
dramatically while increasing quality and timeliness of reporting

OTHERS
Blockchain technology is being leveraged to
remodel the collaborative exchange of
research and healthcare data, as well as to
provide secure and tamper proof access to
patients' medical data. It can also help track
supplies and ensure authenticity of drugs
HEALTHCARE
Blockchain allows smart metering of
electricity generated by solar panels of
individuals to record, trade, and settle on a
ledger. This way, individuals can be both
consumers and producers of energy and
drive a more efficient market
ENERGY MARKET
This industry suffers from lack of trust and
poor coordination between exporters and
importers; and operational inefficiencies due
to manual and paper based processes.
Blockchain can dramatically improve cross-
border coordination, trade settlement, and
standardization through the automation of
agreements, business events, and other
manually intensive processes
GLOBAL TRADE & COMMERCE
Commodities trading represent 25% of
international trade. It is highly inefficient and
paper based. Using blockchain technology the
industry can significantly reduce costs related
to fraud, delays, and loss of income and
opportunity
Telcos face many challenges, and blockchain
represents a potential source of relief for issues
like roaming, identity management and 5G
transition
COMMODITIES TRADING
TELCO
IoT
GENOMICS
Blockchain provides a simple infrastructure for
Internet Of Things devices to communicate
and share data autonomously and securely
With blockchain, it is now possible to send
anonymous genetic information around the
world. This aggregation of data can help
advance preventive and personalized medicine
Blockchain could salve the anti-trust problems
charities are increasingly facing, through greater
transparency to donors. Furthermore, blockchain
tech could help NPOs distribute funds more
efficiently, manage their resources better, and
enhance their tracking capabilities
Blockchain based models will replace the current
digital advertising models of aggregating and
mobile data tracking and will put more power
and control in the hands of consumers, resulting
in better targeting and value both to consumers
and to advertisers
Blockchain based registry platforms enhance
transparency and streamline the process of
registering and sharing registry data. Examples
include notary, intellectual Property, and royalty
