    Default Mastercard Files Patent Application on blockchain concept for transactions

    MasterCard has filed a patent on its own blockchain-based money transfer solution

    https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/14/ma...sfer-solution/

    Whether they will actually get their patent approved remains to be seen, but this certainly indicates how much they have been studying the use of a blockchain-like ledger to store and manage international transactions instantly.

    Seems like it was inevitable that other financial corporations would get involved in blockchain technology. With improved speed, security and less risk of a single spot failure it totally makes sense. As with many advancements it take a new competitor on the scene to open the eyes of others.
