币界网报道：Traditional finance institutions are increasingly exploring blockchain technology to enhance efficiency in financial services. Major banks and asset managers are testing distributed ledger solutions for settlements, cross-border payments, and asset tokenization. Recent initiatives include JPMorgan's blockchain-based interbank payment system and BlackRock's tokenized asset fund on Ethereum. Industry leaders highlight blockchain's potential to reduce transaction costs by up to 80% and cut settlement times from days to minutes. However, regulatory uncertainty and interoperability challenges remain key hurdles for widespread adoption. The global blockchain in banking market is projected to reach $22.5 billion by 2026, growing at 67% CAGR.
