The end-to-end trade was completed on a single shared application rather than multiple systems, which demonstrates blockchain as a solution that promotes digitization and efficiency while being commercially and operationally viable. The blockchain-based transaction was processed in 24 hours, while a legacy system would take between 5 and 10 days.
