A survey conducted by 1,488 executives across several industries across 14 countries, including Canada, China, Brazil, USA, South Africa, U.K., United Arab Emirates, and Switzerland revealed 55% of the big corporations are looking at blockchain integration as a top-five strategic priority in their companies. The key takeaway from the 2020 Global Blockchain Survey is,

“Organizations appear to be more committed to blockchain technology than ever and demonstrating this by implementing it as part of their normal course of business.”

Note: the survey focused on executives who had a clue on blockchain technologies tilting the overall distribution. Additionally, 100 respondents who have already tested blockchain integration within their companies (must have at least $3 million in VC funding) were also included in the survey.

The number of executives that have brought blockchain technologies into production in their firms stands at 39%, a sharp rise from 23% in 2019. For larger firms, those with at least $100 million in revenue and $1 billion, the number goes up to 41-46%.

The digital currency race seems just as important as that of blockchain technology integration, with 89% stating digital currencies will be used in their industry in some way. Of these, 53 percent believe that digital assets will become “very important” in their line of industries.

These institutions are also gunning for the growth of a wide variety of digital asset classes with enterprise tokens, asset-backed stablecoins, and decentralized tokens such as BTC, a popular opinion. In a question on whether digital assets will, in the future, replace the fiat currency system, the group overwhelmingly agreed despite the different countries.

China leads in this aspect, with 94% of the respondents saying a digital currency will replace the Yuan. Brazil and UAE respondents also saw high scores of 92% and 90%, respectively. However, only 71% of South Africans believe digital currencies will replace the Rand.

However, despite the growth in institutional appreciation of blockchain, there is growing skepticism surrounding the hype of the blockchain technologies and whether they can deliver on promises. 54% of the respondents believe the technology is overhyped, a rise from 43% and 39% in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Cybersecurity has been one of the critical areas affecting the overall adoption and advancement of blockchain and digital assets strategy across industries, 21% of the respondents said. Positively, nearly 60% of the respondents believe cybersecurity is part of the problem to solve hence needed to be figured out in their strategy.
