The document discusses emerging blockchain technologies and predictions for their development. It notes that blockchain enables technological innovations like smart contracts and decentralized systems, as well as economic innovations through new business models and social innovations as users join blockchain communities. The document predicts increased use of smart contracts, initial coin offerings, tokenization of assets, cryptocurrency trading, decentralized applications, and convergence with technologies like artificial intelligence, IoT, and augmented reality. Large companies will have to determine how to work with blockchain, which may become a foundational layer supporting technological convergence.

While blockchain is, today, an immature technology, it holds the potential to unleash a
wave of innovation across multiple industries – including financial services. Just as we
saw transformation driven by earlier technologies like the HTTP protocol (unlocking the
World Wide Web) and the rise of pervasive computing and intelligent devices (so-called
“Internet of Things”), so too blockchain may create new businesses and applications not
even dreamed of at this writing.

What to expect in General?
page
013
• Real Deployment of Smart Contracts (Fintech 2.0, IoT and beyond)
• Lots of Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), accelerates Blockchain Eco-System ("Who needs a VC?")
• Strong growth in Tokenization of Assets ("What can be tokenized will be tokenized")
• Strong growth in Cryptocurrency Trading ("Stocks are so yesterday")
• Multicurrency Wallets as Interface to the Blockchain will eat FIAT wallets
• Mobile Cryptowallets blending with other Apps, thus increasing diffusion of Cryptocurrencies
(e.g. Messenger and Wallet, )
• Tech Stack maturity (UX-friendly Front-Ends) and more Protocols to come (Energyfriendly,
lower fees)
• Lots of Decentralized Apps (DApps), P2P Exchanges and P2P marketplaces
• Growing Maturity of Legal Framework (Various Jurisdictions; Anyway "Better ask for
forgiveness than permission")
• More Decentralized Organizations and Companies ("Machine Economy")
• Large Scale Blockchain Implementations (SmartCities, Supply Chain, Energy Grid)
• More Corporate Blockchain Projects (Individual / Consortia)
• Tech Convergence with:
• Artifical Intelligence
• Flying Robots (Drones), other (autonomous) Robots
• IoT
• Virtual / Augmented / Mixed Reality
• 3-D Printing
