In the process of an M&A transaction, many different parties are involved, like investment bankers, lawyers, and auditors. Those intermediates become at least reduced through the blockchain technology. Furthermore, smart contracts make the transaction programmable and offer many other benefits like accuracy, automation, speed, and cost reduction. How a cost reduction could affect the M&A market is challenging to predict.
