Institutional blockchain refers to distributed ledger technology solutions designed for and adopted by large financial institutions and corporations. These systems prioritize features such as privacy, permissioned access, scalability, and robust governance mechanisms to meet enterprise-level requirements. Unlike public blockchains, institutional variants often operate within a controlled environment, enabling participants to transact with verifiable identities and adhere to regulatory standards. Their primary purpose involves streamlining inter-organizational processes, improving data security, and reducing operational costs.
