This has been posted here before, but many financial firms are interested in a block chain concept (not necessarily bitcoin) for processing settlements.
I imagine it will be the same clearing houses and broker-dealers of today, except that counter-party risk is reduced.

What will likely happen is that the regulatory hurdles that make incumbent systems inefficient will be reduced a bit, under the pretense that doing so is better compromise than using the alternative (bitcoin).
