Someone told me last week, during the information session of the China-Spain Start-up context, that blockchain technology is really the new great technological revolution nowadays.

Even though I’m not entirely sure, I want to share some data that can give an idea of the size of this market.

• Estimated size of the blockchain global market in 2024: $ 20B
• Amount of money raised by the blockchain startups in S12016: $ 290M
• Estimated amount that financial and technology companies have invested in blockchain in 2016: $ 1.4B
• This technology is estimated to save banks 30% of infrastructure costs
• IBM is dedicating 1,000 employees to blockchain projects
