Block-chain technology finally hitting the radar of the banks

As you may or may not be aware, I am seriously interested in block-chain technology and all other forms of decentralization. There is a massive wave of disruption coming to finance in the very near future. I hope that TD Securities is ready.

I’ll just point out a few block-chain finance articles which I’ve spotted in the last week or so:

• Barclays to become the first major bank to accept Bitcoin
• UBS Building Virtual Coin For Mainstream Banking
• Will UBS’s Settlement Coin steal Bitcoin’s Thunder?
• Nasdaq - Our plans with the block-chain
• Nick Szabo: If banks want benefits of blockchains they must go permissionless
• Ethereum Version Tailored for Banks Being Developed; Barclays Interested
