I've actually been in part of the consultations around use case 6 in the UK. The timeline is definitely 10+ years however the land registry is 100% backing this movement which I was completely staggered by when first attending the meetings.

It's going to be a huge programme of work but the attitude towards it from those involved in it's mobilisation definitely points to this use case being fulfilled.

Watch this space.

That's interesting. I always thought this case would be exclusively developed in poorer countries first. Do you know what triggered this in the UK? Or was it just a simple realisation that blockchain could really be a better way to do things?

Without divulging too much detail as I don't have my notes to hand it was primarily the cost savings. The UK is still using hugely manual processes and processing. I'll add further info once I'm home.
