The Case for Financial Markets to Use
Open, Public Blockchain
 Lessons from the history of the
Internet ….
 Private companies (e.g. AOL)
attempted to create proprietary
networks
 Every “Walled Garden” failed
 Internet growth only accelerated
when open protocols implemented
 Financial services at risk of
making the same mistake!

14. 1423/05/2016
Private distributed ledgers can provide
immediate improvements to some of the
creaking infrastructure underlying the
financial industry (back office and security
settlement)
BUT
the financial industry’s interests in building
propriety networks is like “having online
without internet”.
Case for Public Blockchains
