WSE analyzing blockchain technology for potential use

The Warsaw Stock Exchange is analyzing the possibility of implementing blockchain technology. “There is a great potential for using this technology for the stock market, for example in the settlement area through a chain of blocks between groups of stock market participants. The synergy has a great potential,” the bourse Deputy President Jacek Florek said. The blockchain technology, which is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, is used to store and send information about transactions through the Internet, used for example, in processing Bitcoin transactions.
