Shook said that, right now, their company is focused mostly on compliance efforts. As time goes on and it adds more clients, however, he said they plan to build out data systems on blockchain. Abdekalimi also stressed, however, that the blockchain world needs to more fully disassociate from its more unsavory elements before businesses can fully support the technology. 

"[Blockchain] doesn't necessarily have to do with money. It's just a really cool system for storing and securing data... I think we need to move it from that money laundering drug trafficking stuff and, I also think, some of those scammy [initial coin offerings]. Many of those types of things need to be destroyed so the good products can be there," he said.
