Bitcoin’s blockchain is an open network protocol that can replace today’s internet, and offers benefits specific to the Islamic Finance industry. Bitcoin Association ambassador for Malaysia Masumi Hamahira said Bitcoin’s blockchain offered every benefit today’s Internet does, while making ownership sequences or various assets far more efficient to manage and prove. Hamahira is an Advisor for the Islamic Finance department at Japan’s MUFG Bank. Hamahira said that Bitcoin could assist in the sukuk market by managing settlement in different currencies on one platform, rather than the current variety of platforms used. Proving a record of ownership sequence and helping to combat money-laundering across borders provides a particular appeal to the Islamic Finance industry.
