WEB3 ALCHEMY: CAN BANKS KEEP UP?
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Web3, where blockchain technology and decentralized systems are rewriting the rules, banks find themselves at the precipice of a transformative era. How can Banks delve into these nascent opportunities that banks can seize within this space, opportunities that have the potential to reshape their operations, services, and relationships with customers?
COST REDUCTION BY DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECH (DLT)
In terms of IT infrastructure and operations, running a bank involves significant costs. In contrast, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) offers banks a unique opportunity to reduce costs and streamline their internal processes. Banks can increase efficiency and cut costs by leveraging DLT internally and automating workflows.
Banks can revolutionize their core processes with DLT tools like Corda and DAML. These technologies enable banks to create secure, transparent, and immutable digital ledgers. A variety of operations can be automated through this process, such as trade settlement, regulatory compliance, and onboarding of new customers. Banks are achieving remarkable efficiency gains and substantial cost reductions by eliminating manual and paper-based processes.
A low-code approach is offered by DAML for digitalizing business workflows. DLT's user-friendly interface and simplified development process make it easy for banks to adopt it without extensive coding knowledge. By reducing development time and minimizing costs, banks can rapidly design and deploy smart contracts and digital workflows.
By sharing infrastructure and data, DLT facilitates interoperability and collaboration among banks, reducing costs. DLT networks enable banks to eliminate redundant systems, streamline data sharing, and reduce the costs associated with maintaining and integrating disparate IT systems. The use of collaborative DLT networks enhances the security and efficiency of cross-border transactions, reducing costs and delays associated with intermediaries.
TOKENIZATION UNLEASHED
Traditionally illiquid assets can now be fractionally owned through tokenization. Tokens representing fractions of real estate, art collections, or intellectual property open up previously untapped markets for investors. By democratizing asset ownership, individuals of all sizes can diversify their portfolios and participate in exciting investment opportunities. According to a report, tokenization could unlock trillions of dollars in currently illiquid assets, fostering new marketplaces and investment possibilities.
Transactions bypassing intermediaries, reducing paperwork, and settling quickly are possible using smart contracts on the blockchain. Tokenization makes this possible.

Managing traditional assets involves administrative overhead and complex processes. With Liveplex's API technology, banks can automate asset management through smart contracts embedded in tokens. Investors might be wondering what advantages automated dividend distribution, voting rights, and transparent profit sharing could provide. By tokenizing assets, investors can conveniently monitor performance, make informed decisions, and participate in governance processes.
NFT CUSTODY SERVICES
As digital payments and self-hosted wallets become more prevalent, managing valuable NFT collections is becoming more challenging for clients. When it comes to safeguarding emotionally significant investments like digital collectibles, they must have a stable partner and a safety net despite their familiarity with Apple/Google Pay and PayPal. This is where banks, renowned for their security and reliability, fulfill their clients' needs.
A trusted financial institution would be a great way for NFT collectors to protect their digital assets. Banks can leverage their reputation as security and reliability providers by providing custody services for NFTs. Clients rely on the bank's established protocols, robust security measures, and regulatory compliance to safeguard their valuable digital collectibles, building trust and ensuring the longevity of their digital asset holdings.
METAVERSE TO REACH ZOOMERS AND GEN ALPHA
As the digital landscape evolves, banks must connect with the younger generations to maintain their relevance and growth. In a world where teens and Gen Alpha, the next wave of investors and decision-makers, play virtual worlds like Roblox and Minecraft, the metaverse emerges as a promising avenue for interacting with them. In embracing the metaverse, banks create meaningful connections with future generations of clients and gain access to new opportunities.
Digital goods, virtual clothes, and avatars are traded and showcased on metaverse marketplaces. There are a number of large brands that have already established a presence in these virtual realms, recognizing the potential of reaching the younger generation.
Liveplex helps banks showcase their brand, create virtual financial products or services, and offer unique experiences in the metaverse to attract and engage Zoomers and Gen Alpha. This presence allows banks to foster brand loyalty from an early age and build lasting relationships with the next generation of clients.
In the metaverse, virtual banking services are in high demand as it continues to evolve. In these digital environments, banks are exploring the possibility of offering virtual wallets, in-world currency, and seamless transactions. Using this integration, users can manage their digital assets, conduct virtual commerce, and make payments.
USING LOYALTY PROGRAMS
The loyalty program of the future will enhance customer engagement and foster brand loyalty by leveraging blockchain technology and NFTs. Banks have to find innovative ways to stay close to their customers as embedded finance pushes them away from direct client interaction. For banks, loyalty programs are an effective way to maintain visibility and build long-term client relationships.
Blockchain technology transforms traditional loyalty programs by creating unique digital assets and providing transparent transaction records. The possibilities for driving brand loyalty and improving client engagement are endless.
Blockchain technology allows banks to tokenize loyalty points and rewards, creating unique digital assets. With this approach, loyalty programs are given a whole new dimension, allowing clients to trade or sell loyalty assets, thereby increasing their perceived value. Blockchain's immutability and traceability ensure transparency, establishing trust and credibility.
Customers can track rewards, transactions, and redemptions with blockchain-powered loyalty programs. Liveplex's technology makes it easy for clients to track their accumulated benefits and rewards, boosting trust and confidence in the program. In turn, this transparency creates a sense of value and appreciation among clients, which strengthens their bond with the bank.
CROSS BORDER PAYMENTS
If cross-border payments were no longer burdened by high fees, delays, and inefficiencies, the world would be a much better place. With the emergence of Web3 technologies, banks now have a unique opportunity to revolutionize global payments. Banks can transform cross-border transactions into faster, more cost-effective, and more transparent processes by adopting blockchain-based payment systems.
A report by Deloitte highlights that blockchain-based payment systems can reduce transaction costs by up to 40% and dramatically cut settlement times from days to minutes.
With blockchain technology, banks can facilitate cross-border transactions in near-real time. As blockchains are decentralized, they enable peer-to-peer transfers without intermediaries and significantly reduce processing times. By eliminating multiple intermediaries, blockchain-based payment systems reduce transaction costs substantially.
Transparency and immutability are key characteristics of blockchain, allowing cross-border transactions to be tracked in real-time. By reducing the possibility of fraud or tampering, this transparency eliminates the opacity that surrounds traditional payment systems. A cross-border payment system ensures customer trust and confidence by providing full visibility into the transaction process.
A world of possibilities lies ahead for banks as they redefine their role in the digital age with Web3 technologies. Innovative and transformative banks can take advantage of these technologies and explore these opportunities.
