Economics of blockchain studies the effects of distributed ledger technology and cryptocurrencies in particular at scale: when they can bring an added value for parts of their ecosystem and what are the mechanisms behind it. This is a different but overlapping with the topic of blockchain for business?. While both are, among the other topics, interested in determining which “business cases” and technological solutions can bring an added value (make sense economically), the latter is rather from a prism of a single entity, an individual or a firm. In business, it is not enough to know what can bring an added value, but also wheather the subject has the organizational, technical and financial ability and position within the ecosystem to realize it.
