Morgan stanley 43 White paper puts blockchain in proof of concept stage until 2020 when common infrastrcuture is created

 

 Morgan Stanley writes that Blockchain, the technology for an open, verifiable general ledger, is still in a "proof of concept" phase, and it may be several years before it is used in everyday practice for financial settlements.
