“This live trade is a massive achievement for all involved. Not only has we.trade built a technical solution, it has also managed to create real collaboration across multiple banks and increased the connectivity of the trade ecosystem.

Other names that have been dropped, including HSBC, Deutsche Bank, and IBM are Santander, KBC and Societe Generale. Furthermore according to The Next Web:“The successful tests are also a major win for the IBM Blockchain Platform, which powers we.trade.
