Blockchain in Advertising: Blockchain's potential to reduce ad fraud and how markets can get ready:

- Despite this promise, just 11% of advertisers and agency executives have completed an ad buy using blockchain technology, according to an Advertiser Perceptions survey.
- Limited adoption is the result of several significant hurdles — like ad executives' skepticism around the technology's usefulness — which must be overcome before blockchain is widely accepted.
- Blockchain is heralded as a transformative technology, and while it has that potential, it's not quite there yet for advertisers.
