The Dutch central bank has committed to developing an internal blockchain prototype dubbed currency "DNBCoin".
On the Bank's published Annual Report - page 89 section 4.3.4 , the attention to Blockchain technology was cited :
"Block Chain Technology looks promising. An innovation that deserves special attention is the block chain technology. This is since 2009 used in the exchange of virtual currencies such as bitcoins.
The blockchain is working with a shared ledger in a distributed network of computers around the world.
There is no one central party but computers locally verifying the transactions and adding them to the ledger.
Potential benefits of this infrastructure are low cost, speed and transparency in transacting.
The result is : the general ledger seen by everyone in the network."
