UBS to Open Blockchain Research Lab in London

Swiss banking giant UBS is to open a technology lab in London to explore how blockchain technology can be used in financial services.

The lab, set to open this month and occupy a dozen desks at Canary Wharf-based fintech accelerator space Level39 – a hub in London for financial technology startups– will bring together technology experts from the bank and the wider fintech community, UBS said.

Same old story. If you can't beat them, join them. They are seeing amazing tech growing in front of their eyes, and while we use it against , them want to find ways to use it in favor of them...

Good luck :D

Maybe they are talking 'Blockchain technology' to avoid a rally in Bitcoin price before they are heavily invested in Bitcoin.
