Keep Your Eye On These Blockchain Stocks
Although cryptocurrencies have had a miserable year, the technology underlying them, known as blockchain, may have staying power. In particular, blockchain technology offers the ability to transmit money in a secure manner without the need for traditional banking networks. It also allows for the transparent and immutable storage of data. In plain English, it could allow for quicker money transfers and provide use outside the banking industry with regard to data storage. Its utility both within and outside the financial sector is what makes blockchain so intriguing.

Rising to the top of the list were payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA), stalwart tech giant IBM(NYSE:IBM), and investor communications provider Broadridge Financial Solutions(NYSE:BR).
