Some companies have invested heavily and are proactively pushing the exploration of the technology through either isolated internal experiments or in partnerships with technology providers or in groups relying on industry consortiums. However, despite the build-up regarding the transformative potential of blockchain, more than 40% financials remain skeptical about the practical implementation and viability of the technology and have adopted a wait and see' approach for the near future. As and when it happens, the uptake of the technology could save the BFSI industry billions in infrastructure costs, IT costs, operations costs, support function costs and personnel costs. One of the biggest beneficiaries of the technology will be the trade finance segment which could yield savings by eliminating middlemen and automating process ranging from tracking products through the supply chain to exchange of documents and final payments releases.

Movement to blockchain based solutions will require large investments and efforts including annihilation of current infrastructure, which might make institutions hesitate from changing from legacy systems and processes. Moreover, the information placed on ledgers is being stove piped due to development of multiple blockchain, all with different standards within industries. This is leading to failure to harness network efficiencies and defeating the purpose of distributed ledgers.
