Felix Hufeld, chief of Germany’s financial watchdog, has said blockchain technology is “revolutionary” and its applications could turn the entire financial sector “upside down.”
Hufeld, who is president of the German Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), made the remarks during a speech at an event in Berlin last week in which he described the regulator’s thinking on bitcoin and blockchain.
Despite the current hype, “if not a bubble,” around the bitcoin price and the boom of initial coin offerings (ICOs), he said, blockchain’s ability to power distributed applications “could actually be revolutionary.”
He continued:
“These apps are not only safe from failures of individual computers or providers, they also promote the development of a ‘blockchain economy.'”
Further, the BaFin head said blockchain applications have promise in areas that lack “an effective control mechanisms or trustworthy institutions” such as in foreign trade or development aid.
