This dissertation was written as part of the LLM in Transnational and European Commercial Law, Banking Law and Mediation/Arbitration at the International Hellenic University. It is entitled “the new distributed ledger technologies in banking transactions and transaction banking platforms”. This dissertation presents the most significant features of the new distributed ledger technologies and in what manner they differentiate themselves from the nowadays - to a large degree - applicable. The dissertation furthermore examines a number of modern applications of the new distributed ledger technologies and how they can be, or already are, incorporated into the present banking system. These technologies being so modern, since they practically have just a little more than a decade of life, come across several challenges in technical, legal, and regulatory fields. Those challenges are displayed and analyzed in a likewise manner. Special mention is made of the public’s attitude towards the application of the new distributed ledger technologies in banking systems. At this point, I wish to acknowledge the contribution of Prof. Teresa Rodriguez De Las Heras Ballell, who has been my supervisor during the writing of my dissertation. It has been an honor and a pleasure working with such an esteemed academic and professional who has been so approachable in every change I needed her aid. Her notes, her suggestions, her guidance and her understanding and support throughout the period that the dissertation was being written, were of utmost importance and extremely valuable for me. I would also wish to thank for the help that he offered regarding the technical aspects of the subject I worked on, Mr. Dimitrios Karampournidis, Network Engineer Expert, whose help was vital during the writing of my dissertation. Last but not least, I need to thank my family and loved ones for the support and patience they showed through holidays, weekends and nights that I needed to isolate myself to work on my dissertation. Without their support, I could not have done it.
