Blockchain technology enables new offerings in industries as diverse as financial services, health care, supply chain, oil and gas, hospitality, retail, music, advertising, media, energy, and many others. It can create new forms of assets and make it possible to trade and monetize existing illiquid assets such as real estate, empty hotel rooms, empty seats in restaurants and unsold perishable media. It makes it possible for musicians, writers, and other artists to embed royalty payments into their MP3s, eBooks, and other creations to pay themselves every time their work is bought or resold. It can be used by publishers to run publications funded not by ads but by micropayments issued by readers’ browsers. And these are just a few examples.
