According to a IMF blog, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde outlined some of potential benefits of crypto-assets and blockchain technology, "Crypto-assets enable fast and inexpensive financial transactions, while offering some of the convenience of cash. Some payment services now make overseas transfers in a matter of hours, not days. If privately issued crypto-assets remain risky and unstable, there may be demand for central banks to provide digital forms of money. The underlying technology of crypto-assets - distributed ledger technology, or DLT - could help financial markets function more efficiently. Self-executing and self-enforcing "smart contracts" could eliminate the need for some intermediaries."
