Goldman Sachs claim there are three factors at work in the banking sector currently that are shaking up the market, fuelling the growth in FinTech and challenging traditional banks  especially in China, India and South America

1.Transitioning from offline to online banking. Living in a digital world, more and more customers aim to have full digital control of money matters. However, there are still conventional customers that side on the more personal approach of interactions at a bank.

Stablecoins  Stablecoins could be at the heart of the Digital Sector as they are going to allow the transfer of payments to be made for Digital derivatives, bonds, equities and property i.e. any asset that has an income stream. Stablecoins are also going to be a battle ground for the banks and global brands and the recent announcement by JP Morgan JPM Coin and Facecoin to be rolled out in India on WhatApp, I suspect is just the open salvo.  It is hard to see how organisation can earn money from issuing and promoting Stablecoins but it does enable them to offer...

BLOCKCHAIN: JP Morgan mints crypto JPM-coin, exposed to $10 trillion opportunity

You know by now that JP Morgan launched a crypto asset called JPM coin. You've probably seen the self-satisfied memes showing Jamie Dimon publicly hating on Bitcoin, contrasted with his own massive bank launching its proprietary, closed cryptocurrency (leveraging open source software created by others) within a year -- and claiming it is a meaningful invention. Perhaps you've read that this is a first-of-its-kind symptom demonstrating that banks are finally coming into crypto. Cool, huh! Yet all of these reactions are mostly irrelevant to thinking about what's happened.
