Blockchain technology usage in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) business enables a systematic customer identification technique based on distributed ledgers. Blockchain technology enables banks and insurance businesses to have well-maintained decentralised data, which aids in the prevention of cyber-crime. Furthermore, it provides a platform for the BFSI sector that allows numerous parties to participate simultaneously while having access to a continually updated digital ledger (recorded transactions) that cannot be altered yet can be accessed from various geographical places. APIs and torrent sites provide access to these ledgers. To avoid tampering with current and previous transactions, the database is cryptographically encrypted.
Japan Blockchain in BFSI Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors- Operational efficiency is the driving force behind the adoption of blockchain in the BFSI sector. Procedures are automated using smart contracts, which are self-executing programmes with predefined rules that conserve time and money. This efficiency benefit is particularly significant in the BFSI industry, as precise and speedy transaction processing is critical. Overall, blockchain is positioned to lead the Japan market during the projected period thanks to its mix of decentralisation, immutability, traceability, and operational efficiency.
Challenges-
Uncertainty in Regulations- Regulatory uncertainty is a major impediment to the blockchain technology market in BFSI. Strict regulatory frameworks govern the operations of financial institutions, and the absence of clear regulations pertaining to blockchain may impede its uptake. Regulators are still working to comprehend the technology and figure out how to apply it within the current legal system. This uncertainty may make financial institutions cautious to invest extensively in blockchain projects. The problem is especially apparent in nations with strict data security and privacy laws, where using blockchain technology may accidentally lead to noncompliance with existing financial standards.
