“It is encouraging to see businesses understand that blockchain is not a competitor but a solution.”

Businesses already using this technology are benefiting from two key features: security (42%) and anti-copy (42%). Enterprises in the IT sector are using blockchain for internal workflows (40%), supply chain efficiency (34%) and software development (30%).
