Kotlin is also used to create Corda, which is a DLT/blockchain framework (to be more precise: it's not really a blockchain, but it has smart contracts). You might not have heard about it, yet, because it doesn't have a built-in cryptocurrency and focuses on B2B applications and business platforms. There are several "CordApps" (Corda based applications) that are right about to go live in 2020, so you'll probably see rising demand for developers with expertise in Corda in the next months.
