Blockchain would help the financial system in industrial revolution but banks would not let cryptocurrency take over them and so the government. Decentralized system is scary where the core of the society is speculation and theory. Blockchain should be adopted in a well manner, where there will be halfway for purpose and efficiency rather than just speed of transactions. Japan are trying to provide an international network for cryptocurrency like SWIFT that is used by banks to avoid frauds but Japan stated that it is still unclear how the network would work and so proposing and testing are still on process. Blockchain will level up the ongoing revolution as it is applicable on various fields not only in terms of financial and security.
I don't think banks really care. They make their money by charging interest on lending.
Blockchain doesn't interfere with that at all, instead it makes the movement of money cheaper.
It's governments who don't like blockchain (because it usurps the govt's function of being the sole issuer of money).
