Picture this. You are standing at the edge of a grand precipice, peering into the realm of the unknown, and yet knowing that a single step could send seismic waves through the global financial landscape. That’s the reality of the blockchain revolution we find ourselves in today – a seemingly mythical frontier, a battlefield of technological prowess, and a defining moment in finance.

“There are two blockchain crazes in finance today. One is the decentralized, permissionless version that is going from strength to strength, driven mostly by young people working outside traditional financial institutions. The second blockchain craze, called the ‘permissioned’ version, involves finding every conceivable way to keep blockchain within the control of licensed institutions in finance. One will succeed. The other will fail,” says Emmanuel Daniel, global thought leader on the future of finance.
Blockchain technology is not just a fleeting sensation; it’s a revolution in the making. This groundbreaking technology holds the potential to rewrite the financial playbook, enabling a profound shift in transaction validation and execution. At its core, it represents the metamorphosis of data – from its inception within isolated systems to today’s shared ledger reality.
But where does this journey lead us? What transformations can we anticipate as finance becomes increasingly personalized, embedded into every corner of our lives? Daniel, a global thought leader in the future of finance, in his new book, “The Great Transition: The Personalization of Finance is Here,” has already received rave reviews from Barney Frank and Richard Sandor on his insight into the personalization of finance.
Daniel is listed as a top 10 global influencer in the “Fintech Power50” list for 2021 and 2022. He is also a global entrepreneur, the founder of platforms such as The Asian Banker and Wealth and Society, through which he has had extensive contact with leaders in banking and finance around the world.
