Blockchain for Cross-Border Settlements

Explores how blockchain technology is transforming cross-border financial settlements. Chapters cover the fundamentals of blockchain technology, the current landscape of cross-border settlement systems and their inefficiencies, blockchain use cases in finance, and the technical and regulatory considerations for implementation.

Cross-border payments remain slow, expensive, and opaque — especially for developing economies. Blockchain-based settlement systems can reduce settlement times from days to minutes and cut costs dramatically. This book examines the technology, the business case, and the path to adoption.
