Large institutions moving rapidly to blockchain technology

Large corporations and banks keep moving closer and deeper into blockchain technology for future services. A recent announcement by IBM and Citibank to partner with the Singaporean government backed Tribe Accelerator, has cemented the fact that blockchain IS the future. As these partnerships increase and evolve, we may be moving into a world dominated by business done by blockchain transactions. The question I have is, which method or platform will become the standard and who will control it?
I would appreciate your thoughts in the comments.
