The global blockchain market is segmented based on type, platform, organization size, application, sector, and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the regional and country-level markets.
Rising Demand for Secure and Transparent Payments in the BFSI Sector
Financial institutes and banks face various issues associated with traditional cross-border payment systems, such as extra processing fees, the risk of fraud in payment pathways, security breaches, and increasing failure points. Also, sending a global payment through established banking channels is a complex and multistep process due to the involvement of several intermediaries. Blockchain-based payment systems provide a faster, more secure, and cheaper payment system by streamlining the transaction process and storing every transaction in a secure distributed ledger. Furthermore, the growing demand for international trade and e-commerce transactions, the rising need for cross-border asset management, a huge demand for effective global investment flows, and the growing demand for migrant money transactions via international remittances encourage faster, more efficient, and secured growth of payment systems.
Leading fintech blockchain solution providers have implemented low-cost and secure payment systems for the banking industry, consequently driving transparent transactions. For instance, in 2020, Siam Commercial Bank (Thailand) implemented low-cost cross-border payment systems using SCB's easy application from Ripple (U.S.). Many consumers seek a superior payment experience to provide effective payment solutions for individual and commercial operations. Thus, the growing need for secure and transparent transactions is driving the growth of the blockchain market.
