Widespread interest in Blockchain has spread across most industries. Governments have also shown interest in the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gartner reports<\/a> that two-thirds of governments have reported interest in adopting blockchain. But while the interest is there, governments have been go-slow and deliberate in how they have approached it. Only two percent of governments are now using blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That pace is expected to pick up some. There are a number of use cases for the use of blockchain in government that are outlined in an article<\/a> by Gartner analyst David Furlonger<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Asset Management<\/strong> – Use blockchain to track ownership in areas like healthcare, insurance, fishing, and utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complex data<\/strong> – Blockchain can be used to manage data used for medical records, intellectual property, and real property records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
