In a statement at the Amazon &#8220;re:Invent&#8221; conference, he expressed doubt that blockchain could be used for more than a \u201cdistributed ledger\u201d but also said he and his team were personally interested. However, company policy dictated that they don&#8217;t \u201cbuild technology [just] because we think it is cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He did leave the door open for future exploration, however, saying, \u201cWe are very intrigued by what customers are ultimately going to do there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Jassy did move forward with a \u201cquasi-blockchain\u201d offering, as he oversaw the launch of two blockchain products: Amazon Quantum Ledger Database and Amazon Managed Blockchain. As Cointelegraph reported, the products maintained centralized databases but included cryptographic qualities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aside from these forays, Amazon has largely only made crypto headlines as a scapegoat: In November 2020, Coinbase blamed an AWS outage for one of its frequent service interruptions. But as a new CEO steps in, the crypto community is eager to see what, if any, changes Jassy will bring.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
