As banks adapt to the post Covid-19 world, blockchain is among one of the key technologies to enable banks of the future to settle trades and payments at reduced costs and increased speed. As I try to understand why we should care about blockchain, I spoke to Syed Shah, an investment banking program manager, and he shared his latest observations about blockchain in the banking space, and how it can impact our careers.
