" The number of banks not participating in these development efforts still overshadows those who want to innovate. For those competitors who are not keeping up with customer expectations and demands, financial losses are on the horizon. To be more precise, banks could lose as much as US$150bn in revenue by not getting involved in blockchain efforts."
