Massive “citation needed” here. I very seriously doubt this headline is true and almost certainly includes every company who ever said “oh sure we’re looking at blockchain” before spending 5 minutes looking and then realizing it provides them no benefit over existing technologies.

OP here. We've included a downloadable excel list in the report and have also spoken to quite a few to the companies involved.

It's mostly happening behind the scenes (which we're not a massive fan of) but it's a step in the right direction.

I’m not about to give a company in the blockchain sphere my contact information to download the report. Surely it should be easy to provide evidence for the 27 companies you claim are providing production services using blockchain

Why is an increasing adoption of blockchain a step in the right direction?

The traditional data systems that power the global economy are no longer fit for purpose. Moving transactional data to shared sources of truth can bring some much needed clarity to the state of the world.

It's a data migration... it seems the regulators, corporates and the crypto world are all moving in that direction.

(again, for better or for worse as there are many different flavours)

Why? They seem to be working fine.

How?

> Furthermore, 27 of the top 100 public companies have a fully functioning , live service that is using blockchain technology in 2021.

#1: Blockchain infrastructure services / BAAS platforms

#2: Supply chain / Traceability / Provance

#3: Clearing & settlements

OK, only use cases #2 and #3 provide any direct value. So I'm curious, what percentage of the 27 companies are in the #2/#3 bucket?
