Not as big as the bitcoin market but corda's growing[0] use for forwards contracts between parties[1].

Though it seems like this is an instance of blockchain "like our current financial system, with intermediaries and trust and regulation", but with cost/time savings by reducing the amount of humans involved in the transaction reconciliation process.

Many more examples of old finance firms using blockchain [2], though a far cry from the whatever is going on in the cryptos in use with consumer discretionary trading.
