In theory, this benefits complex business processes running across corporations/agencies/gov/etc. requiring a distributed ledger. For example, mineral mining/procurement/certification/etc is a complicated lifecycle across many actors. I can't remember which podcast I heard it on, but the suggestion was anywhere there was a "clearing house" in use by multiple corporations for a particular process, there was an opportunity for blockchain/smart contract use.

In practice, I have yet to see anything concrete, but I haven't exactly been looking hard.
