Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: Blockchain technology has increased in popularity during the last 18 months, according to Deloitte's 2018 Blockchain Survey, 74% of the executives who took part see themselves as either "Excellent," or as "Experts," when it comes to blockchain.

"74 % of all the respondents to the survey said their executive team believes there is a "compelling business case" for use of blockchain technology, with 34 % saying that some form of blockchain deployment was already in process within their organization," said the survey.
