Market Highlights

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that has created a major impact on the financial sector and digital identification in North America and Europe. With increasing globalization, transactions have become more cumbersome. For any monetary transaction, the involved parties in the transactions need to have mutual trust— a buyer and a seller.

However, in Asia-Pacific countries, the companies are eagerly shifting their preference towards simplifying their business processes while eliminating middlemen. Blockchain-as-a-service holds the potential to transform the government sector in resolving the challenges associated with data transactions faced in government operations.
