Primer

Despite an Ever-Shifting Regulatory Minefield, Enterprise Blockchain Projects Find a Way to Tip Toe Forward

Despite significant regulatory uncertainty when it comes to cryptocurrency and blockchain laws in the US, enterprises have little choice but to lean into the technology’s disruptive potential. Either that, or risk disruption.

Top 3 Global Law Firm Seizes First Mover Advantage to Tokenize Almost Everything with Blockchain

Law firm DLA Piper operates in over 40 countries and is one of the three biggest law firms in the world. But just because it's an old-school company in an old-school industry doesn't mean that it (or any other similarly positioned organization) cannot leverage technology to seize a competitive advantage for itself and its customers. At World Economic Forum 2023, Blockchain Journal editor-in-chief David Berlind met with DLA's Chief Innovation Officer Andy Gastwirth who explained why a global law firm needs a chief innovation officer as well as the significance of using blockchain to tokenize real-world assets; everything from office buildings to race horses. Two driving factors have to do with the idea of fractionalizing those assets and optimizing a multitude of complex and legal workflows to involve significantly fewer people, paper, and process-based friction than they do today (think "digital transformation"). As Gastwirth says in the interview, it just means you have to reimagine those old-school processes as digital processes. In the legal world, blockchain-based tokenization will be key to that reimagination (full-text transcript appears below).

Hedera Describes Criteria That Enterprises Should Consider When Investigating Blockchain Technology

Hedera is one of several Layer 1 public Distributed Ledgers talking to world and business leaders at World Economic Forum 2023 about the benefits and use cases for blockchain technology. But, according to Swirlds Labs Chief Marketing Officer Christian Hasker, enterprises are typically concerned with a different set of blockchain issues than are startups and smaller blockchain project developers. Swirlds Labs is the research and development arm of the multi-party coalition that's responsible for Hedera's technology and adoption. According to Hasker, similar to other technologies that enterprises include in their application stacks, scalability, performance, and cost should rank pretty high as issues when considering distributed ledger technology (DLT). Disclosure: As reflected by its coverage of other layer one public ledgers, BlockchainJournal.com endeavors to be a fair, independent, and unbiased observer of the blockchain industry. It should be noted that, at the time this video was published, Swirlds Labs was an underwriter of Blockchain Journal (full-text transcript appears below).

After 10 Years of Working With Blockchain, Deloitte is In Position To Help Enterprises on DLT Plans

The way Deloitte Blockchain Practice Leader Rob Massey tells the story, there weren't a whole lot of enterprises interested in distributed ledger technology a decade ago. But despite Deloitte's reputation for working with enterprises, the consultancy took on smaller blockchain projects and startups because it had an idea of blockchain's disruptive potential and wanted to be in position for when enterprise interest in DLT started to ramp. Ten years later, Massey knows of very few enterprises that aren't involved with blockchain in some capacity and Deloitte has been helping many of them to jumpstart their DLT strategies (full-text interview appears below).

According to multiple lawsuits, the Washington Commanders, an NFL franchise, has allegedly misappropriated the financial deposits of its fans. Could blockchain’s multi-party transparency and auditability have simultaneously protected the interests of fans as well as the team, and even the NFL?

Digital Transformation

Thanks to the way many technology marketing outfits look to hijack the latest tech trends regardless of whether those trends apply to their wares or not, the meaning of “digital transformation” has become perverted to the point that it means everything to everyone (which often results in it meaning nothing to anyone). However, digital transformation is an important big-picture objective for enterprises and businesses looking to use digital technology — everything from smartphone apps to low-code...
