New Delhi, May 23: Blockchains technologies have been constantly developing ever since the initial emergence of Bitcoin back in 2009.

Financial assets have grown exponentially in prominence, particularly in the last decade with the popularisation of smartphones permitting easy access to the transition from physical banking to handling finances online.
As banks began to adapt to the high demand for virtual transactions by creating online banking applications, the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto began to push this ethos further by expanding the virtual realm through the construction of Bitcoin (BTC).
