[...] are hiring experts who understand the blockchain and can help integrate with legacy financial systems.
That's a good one..

What banks want is contradictory and incompatible with logic. Any true expert of the blockchain would have to tell them, that integrating "blockchain technology" with legacy financial systems is ridiculous and equivalent to harnessing horses to a car, refusing to start the motor. If they search for blockchain experts exhibiting their ignorance like this, they will hire experts in self-portrayal.
The simple truth for banks is that their main business has come to an end and with it all their power. They just can't realize it, because it will lead to severe depression. That's why they are desperately developing private blockchain altcoin trash code while consistently avoiding to even mention Bitcoin. It won't help them, they are just burning money.
ya.ya.yo!
