Today Deloitte released findings from its
2019 blockchain survey. Compared to other studies, Deloitte’s is one of the most optimistic in both 2018 and 2019. It found that 53% (2018: 43%) of enterprise respondents cite blockchain as a top-five strategic priority and 56% (2018: 59%) believe blockchain will disrupt their industry. Only 6% are unsure or don’t see the need to use blockchain.
The top five blockchain advantages were given as new business models and value chains (23%), greater security or lower risk (23%), greater speed compared to existing systems (17%), greater transparency (11%) and lower costs (9%). The results are a little surprising given that efficiency is the term most commonly associated with enterprise blockchain.
