[Tron Legacy movie poster]Wikipedia Wall Street is excited about Blockchain. Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld has said his company needs to be a "rapid applier" of the technology. Autonomous Research has called the technology a "game changer." Goldman Sachs has said the use of blockchain technology in stock trading could result in $6 billion in industry cost savings globally. There's no shortage of hype, but widespread implementation is still a long way away in the highly regulated financial services industry. While the rest of Wall Street watches, the Australia Securities Exchange (ASX) is pioneering the attempt to implement blockchain technology in a large scale market. The exchange is looking at replacing its clearing and settlement system with a blockchain solution, and will make a decision on whether to go through with the change by mid-2017. "The securities industry is experimenting with blockchain across the post-trade market," Morgan Stanley said in a research note titled 'Blockchain - Is ASX set to shape a brave new world?' "Within equities, the most progressed of these is the ASX-planned replacement of the central depository (CSD) with a blockchain solution. If successful, the implications could be significant across the securities value chain." Blockchain uses computers with advanced encryption to keep track of transactions, and the use of a blockchain solution in clearing and settlement has the potential to reduce costs, save time, and cut complexity. Goldman Sachs set out how this could work in a recent note. It said: Essentially, by enforcing agreement at the time of entry, blockchain could eliminate some of the most common post-trade issues and errors, such as incorrect settlement instructions or incorrect account/order details. Today, these details are confirmed/affirmed by multiple parties (DTCC, custodians, broker/dealer, clients) and multiple times throughout the life cycle of the trade. If blockchain could be fully implemented across these parties, many of these attributes could be included in a smart contract, thus becoming a pre-trade requirement to execute an order rather than a downstream, post-trade check that requires multiple parties to agree. The US bank said this would reduce duplications in affirming and reconciling trades, and help save the industry $6 billion globally. There are challenges however. The size and fragmented structure of stock markets in the US and European Union could slow the adoption of blockchain technology for example, according to Morgan Stanley. There are regulatory concerns too. This will only work on a large scale if global exchanges decide to follow suit and adopt the same standards. Without this, the market risks ending up with multiple systems with similar cost challenges as those faced today. That means the world will be watching what happens in Australia. "If the ASX "flicks the switch", this would increase the pace of innovation and disruption risk to the post-trade securities market,' Morgan Stanley said.

What are you doing this weekend? [Laura and Mark at last year's Decathlon] While you're sunbathing in the park, prosecco in hand, Wall Street's finest will be competing for the crown of Best Athlete. Yes, it's that time of the year again, when the financial services industry comes together to compete and raise money for a worthy cause. The Decathlon has been around for seven years. It was started in New York City in 2008 by Dave Maloney, then a banker at Morgan Stanley, as a competitive bet between friends, and has now grown into a top class athletic event taking place across five cities in America. While the event in other cities is open to amateur athletes from all professions, the New York Individual Decathlon is exclusively for Wall Streeters. This is the first year the event has expanded to other cities across America and also the first year the competition will be televised for NBC sports. The event raises a ton of cash for charity, and all proceeds go to benefit pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center_. _Last year, it raised $1.4 million in New York. This year, Maloney expects the New York Decathlon to raise $1.5 million and each new market to raise $1.0 million. Maloney's own mother is a cancer survivor, so the charity is close to his heart. [mark rubin]Teams have to raise a minimum of $10,000 while the individual fundraising requirement is $3,000. As of Friday, the top individual fundraiser is Michael Bissmeyer, a director at RBC Cap Markets, who has raised $25,024.66. The top team fundraiser is BAML ECM at $34,324.00. There's still time to donate, and there's also an option for a performance-based pledge, where the better a Decathlete performs athletically, the more money is donated. Wall Street competitors take the event very seriously. Mark Rubin, crowned Wall Street's top male athlete the last four years in a row, is entering this year's competition to defend his title for the fifth year. Rubin is a futures and options trader at ICAP and a former NFL player. He has been training 5 days a week and balancing his workouts to reflect the diverse events he will compete in. "The challenge is to prepare yourself for that range of activity," he said. Laura Placentra, a trader at Citigroup, is the defending champ in the women's category. She's doing upper body training, pilates and boxing to prepare. She also plays a lot of flag football and competes in leagues in New York. Her mother is a breast cancer survivor and her grandmother, who passed away in 2011 from cancer, was treated at Sloan-Kettering. [Laura Placentra at last year's decathlon] "They gave her an extra few years of life due to their amazing capabilities," she said. "Also when I first arrived in New York, I wanted to volunteer and help with a few different charities. Given my fairly rigorous work schedule, It was not easy finding volunteer opportunities later in the evening," she said. "One great aspect about the Decathlon is that I can work out or train late in the evening and put some of my fitness training to work for good causes." Athletes compete in 10 events at the decathlon, which were inspired by the NFL Scouting Combine and the Olympic Decathlon. These events are: 400m run, Football throw, Pull-ups, 40yd dash, Dips, 500m row, Vertical jump, 20yd shuttle sprint, Bench Press, and 800m run. _Inspired to watch? The Decathlon is taking place this weekend on June 11-12 at St. John's University from 8am, and is free to attend. Saturday is the Team Competition while individual athletes compete on the Sunday. _ SEE ALSO: 7 OF WALL STREET'S TOP ATHLETES SHARE THEIR INTENSE WORKOUT ROUTINES Join the conversation about this story » NOW WATCH: FORMER GREEK FINANCE MINISTER: How I dealt with stress when Greece nearly defaulted
