The bitcoin bull run may have ceased from the beginning of this year but in India, the first two weeks of 2017 have certainly brought a lot of cheer for blockchain, the software that maintains a decentralized public ledger which records transactions and ownership of the cryptocurrency.

Earlier this month, Yes Bank announced that it has implemented a multi-nodal blockchain transaction to fully digitize vendor financing for its client Bajaj Electricals and on Monday, Axis Bank became the third lender in India to announce usage of blockchain solutions for its operations, after its peers ICICI Bank and Yes Bank.
