"There is a misconception that bitcoin is blockchain. When we say that bitcoin is synonymous with blockchain, people start building everything around cryptocurrencies. Almost 90% of blockchain use cases that exist today are related to cryptocurrency. So everything is built around this small ecosystem," Sheikh says. "And this is where the problem exists since blockchain as a technology has lot more use cases."

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Sheikh also discusses:

  • The various use cases of blockchain technology;
  • Why DRIFE chose blockchain as a technology;
  • Challenges of adopting blockchain technology.

Sheikh previously worked with Microsoft as a financial analyst. She has a demonstrated history of working in the capital markets industry.
