IBM just acquired Confluent for $11 billion. This acquisition may look like a classic enterprise AI move, but its implications stretch well beyond artificial intelligence. This deal signals a deeper shift in how companies will build intelligent systems, manage real time data, secure digital transactions, and create trust in a world where AI and blockchain are colliding. At its core, Confluent is the world’s leading real time data streaming platform, designed to continuously move events, transactions, signals, and intelligence across distributed systems. In a world increasingly run by AI agents, decentralized applications, tokenized assets, and on-chain governance, real time data is no longer a feature. Do you think that IBM will help revolutionalise blockchain technology ?
