Companies are continuously focusing on partnering or developing their own technology. For instance,

• IBM is supporting the transformation of money into a digital form known as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Central banks are encouraging the issuing of digital coins instead of printing money to increase digital transactions. This would result in a rise in contactless payment with improved settlement and transaction times and less complexity and risk. Businesses will have enhanced control over monetary policy transmission, with built-in programming. IBM estimates that in 2023, 87 countries have started exploring CBDCs and 9 out of those 87 countries have launched a state-owned digital currency.
• In February 2023, MakerDAO, a prominent decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has effectively integrated Chainlink’s smart contract automation, a blockchain data provider, into its Keeper system responsible for upholding the stability of Maker’s DAI stablecoin.
• In January 2022, Visa, the renowned payment company, partnered with ConsenSys, an Ethereum scaling company, to facilitate the integration of central bank digital currency (CBDC) networks with conventional financial institutions. Ultimately, customers will have the opportunity to utilize their Visa cards or digital wallets linked to CBDCs at any worldwide location where Visa is accepted.
• In June 2023, J.P. Morgan Chase developed a blockchain-based system, Onyx, for settling payments between banks. This system is designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Category growth is expected to be fueled by the increasing global adoption of cryptocurrency. The utilization of blockchain technology in cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin is a key factor driving this trend. The rising demand for cryptocurrency is attributed to its advantageous features, including convenient transactions, protection against inflation, and heightened security.

• The suppliers of this technology such as developers, and programmers, have increased over time, reducing the supplier’s bargaining power to some extent.
• Block development, transaction size, and volume form the most significant cost component in blockchain implementation. The overall cost also depends on the type of technology such as private, public, hybrid, or consortium.
• Most of the service providers offer complete services from designing applications, development of technology, maintenance, and others.
