http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/banking/big-banks-plan-interbank-blockchain-platform/articleshow/56770736.cms India’s largest banks are building a consortium to test an interbank blockchain platform, putting the country at the cutting edge of adoption of the technology that forms the backbone of cryptocurrency Bitcoin. The move comes after the central bank’s technology arm the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) released a white paper earlier this month saying its pilot, for a blockchain platform to settle trade finance transactions, had been successful.
