Application background of blockchain in securities industry
blockchain technology is widely used. Under the integration of new technologies, the main application scenarios of blockchain include finance and insurance, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent environmental protection, energy and power, health care, ecation, culture and innovation, smart city, social welfare, agriculture and many other fields
-
blockchain + finance
blockchain can help financial institutions solve problems such as trust and data sharing

3. Blockchain + government
in statistics, voting, budget management and other aspects, blockchain can rece costs, improve efficiency, and increase transparency, so as to prevent the risk of failure of centralized system
4. Blockchain + insurance
fraud identification and risk prevention: by placing insurance claims under an unchangeable general ledger, blockchain helps to eliminate the common sources of fraud in the insurance instry
property insurance and accidental injury insurance: policies and shared ledgers recorded in the form of smart contracts can improve the efficiency of property insurance and accidental injury insurance
Health Insurance: blockchain technology enables medical records to be encrypted and shared among health service providers, thus improving the interoperability of the health insurance ecosystem
Reinsurance: the information security of reinsurance contracts on the blockchain platform can be ensured through the form of smart contracts, which can rece the amount of information and simplify the payment process between insurers and reinsurers
The application prospects of blockchain are mainly in the fields of finance, Internet of things and logistics, public services, digital rights and insurance
1. Blockchain has great potential applications in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields. The application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can eliminate the third-party intermediary link and realize the point-to-point direct docking
2. Blockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics, which is considered as a promising application direction of blockchain. The establishment of credit resources in the blockchain can double improve the security of transactions and improve the convenience of Internet of things transactions. It can save time and cost for the application of intelligent logistics mode
3. Blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in public management, energy, transportation and other fields. The decentralized and fully distributed DNS service provided by blockchain can realize the query and resolution of domain name through the point-to-point data transmission service between nodes in the network
4. Through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership. After the works are confirmed on the blockchain, the subsequent transactions will be recorded in real time to realize the full life cycle management of digital rights, and can also be used as a technical guarantee in judicial evidence collection
5. In terms of insurance claims, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claims settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs. Through the application of smart contract, there is no need for the applicant to apply or the insurance company to approve. As long as the claim conditions are triggered, the automatic claim settlement of the policy can be realized
extended data:
the core technology of blockchain
1. Consensus mechanism, through the voting of special nodes, completes the verification and confirmation of transactions in a very short time; For a transaction, if several nodes with unrelated interests can reach a consensus, it can be considered that the whole network can also reach a consensus. The goal of blockchain consensus mechanism is to make all honest nodes keep consistent blockchain views
2. Asymmetric encryption requires two keys for encryption and decryption, which are public key and private key. The public key corresponds to the private key. The public key is used in the process of data encryption, and only the corresponding private key can be used to decrypt; On the contrary, the private key is used to encrypt the data, and only the corresponding public key can be used to decrypt the data
Although the current blockchain technology is still in the initial stage, the advantages of this technology have begun to be reflected. In many fields, blockchain can proce great value, and I believe there will be more landing application scenarios in the future,
blockchain + cross border payment
at present, the mainstream way of cross-border remittance is wire transfer, and its cycle is generally as long as three to five working days. In addition to certain handling charges, intermediary banks will charge certain handling charges, Swift (Global Interbank Financial Telecommunication Association) will also charge a higher fee for the message exchange of its system. In China, a single fee of 150 yuan will be charged for cross-border remittance through the Bank of China
and the use of blockchain technology allows the remitter and the payee to pay and settle directly, eliminating all intermediate costs, so that cross-border payment and settlement can be completed point-to-point quickly. While improving the speed of settlement, it can also achieve all-weather payment, real-time arrival, simple embodiment and no hidden cost
digital currency: to improve the convenience of currency issuance and use, for example, the central bank plans to issue its own digital currency; Cross border payment and settlement: realize point-to-point transaction and rece intermediate costs; Bill and supply chain financial business: rece human intervention, rece costs and operational risks; Securities issuance and Trading: realize quasi real-time asset transfer and accelerate the speed of transaction clearing (European crowdfunding is a typical model); Customer credit investigation and anti fraud: rece the cost of legal compliance and prevent financial crimes.
The application of blockchain technology in the securities instry can increase the flexibility of securities issuance. Companies issuing securities can adopt smart contracts, and even issue securities 24 hours in an ideal state by setting the way and time of securities issuance
under the operation of smart contract, the buyer and the seller are automatically paired, and the settlement and clearing steps are automatically completed through the distributed digital registration system. The transaction records on the blockchain will not be changed casually, so the information entered has the effect of publicity in practice, so there will be no dispute about the confirmation of ownership in the stock exchange
in addition, blockchain technology makes the securities trading process more open and transparent. Through the blockchain technology, the securities instry does not need core institutions to operate and manage, nor does it need investment banks to underwrite, so as to achieve real point-to-point transactions, rece the illegal activities such as the black box operation and insider trading in securities trading, and realize the effective supervision of the securities instry
