In utilizing the FINTRX Family Office Data & Research platform, which provides insight and analytics into thousands of direct deal transactions made by family offices worldwide, we uncover three family offices investing in blockchain technology and crypto-related projects... 

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain is the technology underlying digital currency. Otherwise stated, blockchain manages digital information that is stored in a public database and can be implemented in many different ways. The more educated you are on blockchain technology, the more you realize its value and true potential to disrupt the industry.  

 

What Makes Blockchain Unique?

  • - The way it tracks and stores data (stores information in batches called 'blocks')
    - Seamlessly tracks data changes over time
    - Designed to be decentralized and distributed across a large network (without being tampered with)
    - Creates trust in the shared data blocks 
    - Allows individuals to interact directly with data in real-time
    - No intermediaries are needed
