The Blockchain Miracle

SUMMARY AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
Blockchain, for all its discourse, is still perceived by many as merely the underlying technology that enables the existence of cryptocurrency. Since its inception, industry professionals and corporations large and small have been working hard to incorporate blockchain into their operations to bolster their businesses. 2022, in particular, was a breakthrough year in blockchain adoption in finance - numerous central banks and hundred-year-old banks are, for the first time, developing and using elements of blockchain infrastructure to support CBDC and financial instruments.
On the latest episode of the Crypto Savvy: The Essentials podcast, host Jizzles spoke to "Asian FinTech Speaker of the Year" Dr. Oriol Caudevilla, who explained why blockchain should be a force to be reckoned with in the TradFi space, especially in trade finance deals. He also debunked the misconception that distributed ledger technology (DLT) is equivalent to blockchain.
