Description:
<p>On this week's episode of Yahoo Finance Future Focus, our host Brian McGleenon spoke to BCB Group Chief Product Officer Ashley Pope about the transformative impact of blockchain's settlement capabilities on established financial institutions.<br><br>Pope highlighted how blockchain facilitates near-instantaneous settlement, driving traditional market players to adapt rapidly to evolving client expectations. He emphasised that the expectation for instant settlement, inherent in the cryptocurrency sphere, is gradually permeating into traditional finance. This trend is fueled by evolving user needs, ultimately aiming for a world where value moves at the speed of the Internet.<br><br>To bridge this gap, traditional financial incumbents are exploring innovative solutions, such as Visa's stablecoin settlement for merchants and JP Morgan's initiatives like Onyx to enhance liquidity in private markets. Additionally, the UK government's plan to oversee fiat-backed stablecoins signals a broader trend towards embracing crypto-inspired settlement mechanisms.<br><br>Pope discussed a diverse range of settlement options, including stablecoins, native cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and litecoin, and existing payment rails like FPS in the UK and SEPA in Europe. He also noted how blockchain providers are also offering cross-border payment solutions, exemplified by Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity service.</p>

Likewise Sheffield Wednesday who fought back to grab a 2-2 draw against Norwich City following on from a 2-0 win over QPR – do they have what it takes to beat the drop?<br/><br/>And, at the other end of the Championship table, Leeds United fell to their first league defeat of 2024 at possibly the worse time, their chances of automatic promotion not helped much later in the week when they were held 0-0 at home by Sunderland. Is it the play-offs that beckon for Daniel Farke’s team?<br/><br/>Also, Stuart and Leon pick out their player and team of the week.")
