Blockchain technology is most commonly associated with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But the technology can and is being used to protect and secure processes in other industries.
Chronicled uses blockchain technology and supply chain management solutions to verify goods and keep counterfeit products off of the market. Chronicled has applied this technology to the MediLedger Project, a pharmaceutical initiative that helped keep stolen or counterfeit pills from entering the market and beig passed onto patients.
Sam Radocchia is the CMO and co-founder of Chronicled. She joins Cheddar to explain how Chronicled is leading the initiative to bring blockchain to more industries.
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days.

Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months.
