Despite the situation on crypto space, blockchain is doing quite good, including the fact that previously the U.S. Sen­ate even de­cided to dis­cuss using blockchain in the en­ergy sec­tor in order to find out if this tech­nol­ogy is ca­pa­ble of im­prov­ing the in­dus­try.

It’s also worth noting that South Korea is trying to do its best to make the blockchain adoption faster and simpler. My­ongji Hos­pi­tal, which is con­sid­ered to be one the South Korea’s largest hos­pi­tals has con­cluded a part­ner­ship with a Ko­rean tech com­pany in order to de­velop a med­ical ser­vices plat­form on blockchain tech­nol­ogy.

Earlier, the Min­istry of Sci­ence and ICT of South Korea announced a six-month course on learn­ing the dis­trib­uted ledger tech­nol­ogy. The aim of the courses was to in­crease the num­ber of qual­i­fied spe­cial­ists in the de­vel­op­ing blockchain in­dus­try of the coun­try.
