Wall Street is obsessed with [Blockchain] technology that no one quite understands — here's the best explanation we've seen

JPMorgan last month announced it was launching a trial project with the blockchain startup led by its former executive, Blythe Masters.

Her company, Digital Asset Holdings, has secured funding from Goldman, Citi, ICAP, and a handful of other financial firms.

Exciting, right? One problem: Hardly anyone seems to understand what Blockchain is.

Barclays' Kenneth Hill took a stab at it in a note on Friday, and it's one of the best explanations we've seen yet.
