What is a potential future development in blockchain that could impact FinTech?

Replacing all fiat currencies with a single global cryptocurrency

Complete removal of all regulatory oversight

Integration of artificial intelligence with smart contracts for more adaptive financial services

Making all blockchains private and permissioned

A consortium of banks is building a blockchain for cross-border payments. They want to connect with other blockchain networks used by partner banks, but they are concerned about transaction throughput and finality times. Which approach should they prioritize?

Implementing a cross-chain interoperability protocol with a consensus mechanism that offers fast finality

Using a single centralized ledger managed by one bank

Adopting a proof-of-work blockchain for maximum security

Storing transaction data off-chain and only recording hashes on-chain

A consortium of banks is implementing a blockchain for interbank payments. They need to ensure that transactions are processed quickly and that the system can handle peak volumes during market hours. Which scalability solution is most appropriate for this permissioned network?

Use proof-of-work (PoW) consensus to ensure maximum decentralization.

Use a public blockchain with sharding to achieve scalability.

Use a practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) consensus algorithm with a limited set of trusted validators.

Use a single centralized server to process all transactions instantly.

What does tokenization of an asset on a blockchain typically involve?

Creating a digital token that represents ownership or rights to the asset

Converting the asset into physical cash

Storing the asset in a bank vault

How does blockchain improve transparency in supply chain finance?

By providing a shared, immutable record of transactions and goods movement

By keeping all transaction data private to each party

By eliminating the need for any record keeping

By allowing any party to alter past records
