Various financial institutions are undergoing strategic collaborations with service providers to promote the adoption of blockchain as a service in their operations.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Growth in favorable government initiatives is predicted to upsurge the market.

Blockchain as a service provides security to sensible and crucial data, keeps track of multiple transactions through its distribution ledgers, through audit trails provides data traceability, and through high automation, improves the data processing speed. Owing to such high-performance benefits, the government of countries is realizing the importance of blockchain as a service model in various applications for business sectors such as financial institutions, transportation & logistics, and manufacturing among others, thereby, undertaking various investments, schemes and agreements to promote the usage of technical service models. For instance, in October 2022, Thailand’s Thai Fintech Association and Hungary’s Hungarian Blockchain Association entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to promote the usage of blockchain technology in their financial sectors.

Advancement in blockchain technology.

Though technological advancements are boosting the usage of blockchain as a service, however, the blockchain as a service consists of the usage of cryptocurrencies, and to safeguard the investor's interest and also preserve financial stability, rules and regulations are being implemented by the governing authorities in the countries. For instance, in November 2021, the Biden Administration signed and introduced the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which requires brokers to report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for their digital asset transactions that are valued at more than US$10,000. Certain governments, consider cryptocurrency as not a legitimate method for conducting financial transactions, owing to which they are taking undertaking steps to ban it.

North America is anticipated to be the major regional market.

The blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) industry in North America has grown rapidly due to enterprises' increased interest in and comprehension of blockchain technology.

This acceptance is further fueled by the scalability and cost-effectiveness of BaaS models, which allow enterprises to use the benefits of blockchain without requiring substantial in-house infrastructure or expertise. The blockchain's revolutionary potential is being recognized by sectors, and North America's BaaS industry is well-positioned to grow further to meet the changing needs of companies looking for dependable and creative blockchain solutions.

Key Developments:
