Much of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/\">highly touted crypto boom<\/a> is the result of individuals pouring resources into existing currencies and fresh ICOs. The movement has the ethos of a grassroots campaign, the effect of a winning lottery ticket, and a market cap in the hundreds of billions.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, enterprise excitement for cryptocurrencies has been decidedly muted. Although he would later walk back the remarks, JP Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/third-stage-grief-jamie-dimon-regrets-calling-bitcoin-fraud\/\">famously called Bitcoin a fraud<\/a>, and few financial industry leaders have voiced support for cryptocurrencies. They are joined by central governments as the two most frequent naysayers in the crypto boom.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, blockchain technology has received significant attention from nearly every industry and by governments around the world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_528\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-528\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-528\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ethereum-enterprise-alliance-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ethereum-enterprise-alliance-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ethereum-enterprise-alliance.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the past year, many corporations and governments have started exploring how the Ethereum ecosystem and blockchain can improve their businesses and make operations more efficient.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/entethalliance.org\/members-2\/\">Enterprise Ethereum Alliance<\/a> has hundreds of companies including BP, Intel, Mastercard, and Microsoft. These companies are committed to developing enterprise-grade blockchain initiatives with broad implications for different industries.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, U.S. Congressional leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/crypto-featured-congressional-report\/\">recently touted the blockchain<\/a> as a technology that can improve security and reliability in the digital age.<\/p>\n<h2>What About Crypto?<\/h2>\n<p>While the blockchain is a frequent topic of discussion, cryptocurrencies are often ignored at the industry or governmental level.<\/p>\n<h3>Now, one of the most noteworthy and storied stalwarts of industrial development, IBM, is providing a full-throated endorsement of cryptocurrencies, and they see others doing the same.<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41866\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41866\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41866 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ibm-logo-300x160.jpg\" alt=\"IBM and Stellar\" width=\"300\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ibm-logo-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ibm-logo.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">IBM has been experimenting with Stellar for payments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/ibm-evolution-big-blue-finally-getting-serious-cryptocurrency\/\">a recent interview<\/a>, Jesse Lund, IBM\u2019s new head of blockchain development, indicated that IBM is investigating enterprise-level use cases for cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>IBM already uses <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/stellar-lumens\">Stellar<\/a> for cross-border payments, and they are looking beyond stellar at the broad crypto offerings and how they might be implemented into their burgeoning blockchain business.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Lund revealed that 20 central banks, primarily from <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/g20-crypto-regulation\/\">countries in the G20<\/a>, have inquired about digitizing their monetary system by creating a national cryptocurrency. Although no countries have publicly expressed plans to place their monetary system on the blockchain, Lund is confident that this is closer than it may appear. He notes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI expect that we\u2019ll see \u2013 sometime this year \u2013 a central bank at least putting its big toe in the water to issue a digital denomination of their fiat currency into the wild\u2026probably in a controlled climate.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That would be a tremendous step for a central government to take. Currently, most conversations regarding governments and cryptocurrencies are focused on regulation, not implementation.<\/p>\n<h2>We Have a Leader<\/h2>\n<p>IBM has positioned itself as a leader in blockchain and cryptocurrency as the tech industry pivots in that direction. As younger generations are embracing a digital-first approach to everything including commerce, this transition only makes sense. As <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2017\/12\/26\/blockchain-tech-companies-ibm\/\">Fortune<\/a> notes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIBM was one of the first big companies to see blockchain\u2019s promise, contributing code to an open-source effort and encouraging startups to try the technology on its cloud for free.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>In addition to providing educational materials, IBM runs a comprehensive blockchain consulting business that is helping lead the crypto movement.<\/h3>\n<p>This is impressive for a company that\u2019s more than a century old. If their predictions about crypto adoption, especially at the governmental level, are correct, then they are positioned to be leaders in a transitional period that could drastically alter the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it\u2019s refreshing to see a company taking a stand for cryptocurrency and its necessary role within the world's financial system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the beginning of 2017, cryptocurrencies have received a rock star reception from retail investors.
