Blockchain is the growing technology used for wealth management systems. The safety of financial data is essential. Otherwise, it may lead to loss. Here blockchain systems are needed to keep the information that is impossible to change or hack. Data is stored in blocks and then linked together via cryptography. Two concepts to be successful in the stock market are minimising the risk and maximising the profit. Blockchain technology is used for stock market analysis that makes optimal stock transactions through automation and decentralisation. Blockchain technology is used by many across the world. Some countries are getting ready to use it for tracing securities lending, margin financing, and surveillance of system risk.

Blockchain is essential in the wealth management industry. They act as a digital wrapper around the digital asset and allow the exchange on decentralised networks. The wealth management industry always faces threats in data maintenance, client-related sensitive data management, and the company's reputation. In case of any customer data leakage, they lose their customer trust. The key factors of blockchain technology like decentralisation, consensus, and immutability can renovate the existing business models to make transactions more fluid than ever. In this way, blockchain technology upgrades the service quality in client onboarding, asset transactions, and portfolio management.

A sidechain is attached to another blockchain that allows tokens and other digital information from one blockchain to be used in another blockchain safely. After the use, it is moved back to the original blockchain. The sidechain is attached to its parent blockchain using a 2-way peg (2WP).

Before knowing the in-depth concepts, know about the peer-to-peer network. A peer-to-peer network (P2P) is a decentralised network communications model with a group of devices that store and share files where each device acts as an individual peer. Peer-to-peer networks are the foundation of cryptocurrencies, thus playing a vital role in the blockchain industry. A peer-to-peer network is based on the concept of decentralisation. Thus, this blockchain structure allows all cryptocurrencies to be transferred worldwide without needing a central server.

It is essential to know the four types of blockchain technologies before starting the trade as a beginner. It is hard to implement a blockchain-based solution if you don't understand the blockchain types and their impacts on the business models. The different types of blockchains are as follows:
