Blockchain Technology is widely regarded as one of the most significant technological innovations since the creation of the Internet, and has the potential to completely revolutionise banking and financial services. A Blockchain is essentially a decentralised distributed ledger that operates on a peer-to-peer network which cannot be altered or changed by any individual, business, or government, providing unparalleled levels of transparency and security. The Blockchain is at the heart of many of the world's digital currencies (such as Bitcoin), but its potential applications are truly endless.

Digital Currencies and Blockchain technology could be described as disruptive technologies as they are forcing the world of banking and financial services to evolve much like Napster did to force the music industry to evolve.

The creation of the Global Blockchain Council by the Dubai Museum of the Future Foundation represents a significant landmark, not only for the technology, but for businesses operating in the region.

Stef van Leijden, Director of Business Development for Blockchange DMCC said "it is vital that banking and financial services businesses in the region understand the importance of this announcement and the potential of this technology. Banking and financial services businesses will be forced to embrace this technology in the future, whether they like it or not, so it makes sense to understand and embrace the technology at the earliest possible opportunity."

Blockchange DMCC is proud and honoured to have been a part of the council, which while only announced recently, has actually been a year in the making. We look forward to working with the new members of the council to ensure Dubai leads the way in this exciting segment of FINTECH innovation.
