 Distributed  Ledger Technology (DLT) is a way of managing, storing, and sharing  information over a distributed network. The position of DLT in banking  can be seen as controversial as it is a rapidly evolving technology with  both potential benefits and challenges. The Role of Distributed Ledger  Technology in Banking presents a balanced assessment of both the  opportunities and risks behind such recent innovations. Combining theory  and practice, it explores the impact of DLT in the banking sector and  offers the opportunity to exploit different points of view from  different disciplines. It presents topics from both a theoretical and  practical point of view, highlighting concrete applications. Written by a  team of experts from academia and the banking sector, this book looks  at DLT not as a threat but as an exciting opportunity to bring the  banking/financial system in the future.
