Blockchain technology has the potential to transform a wide range of industries by allowing for the secure and decentralized sharing of information across organizational boundaries. Some of the sectors that could see disruption include banking through global payments and remittances, trade and supply chain management for areas like parts tracking, and government record keeping for healthcare records, land titles, and other documents that require verification. While the technology is still developing, blockchain may come to replace traditional centralized databases with distributed shared ledgers that do not require intermediaries to validate transactions and information.
