Aquitude Fintech is a new consultancy practice area focussed on creating strategies and delivering solutions around technologies such as blockchain, IoT, AI and even… the metaverse.
Our aim is to help companies understand the practical application of these technologies in order to identify opportunities and prepare for potential disruption.
While fintech is one of the fastest growing sectors for start-ups around the world, many industries are still grappling with concepts that will have a huge impact on the way business is done. Concepts such as ‘Smart Contracts’ and ‘NFTs’, both powered by blockchain technology.
But how much is hype and how much is business imperative? Aquitude Fintech has launched an Adoption & Readiness Survey to benchmark where companies are at.
When you talk about something like cryptocurrency, many people think about Bitcoin being used to buy goods on the black-market or highly speculative trading. But there is increasing utility for some of these coins or tokens on other blockchains that are designed for smart contracts. For example – there are some very exciting things going on in film financing at the moment.
