GSMI 6.0 | Why Technical Standards Matter for Blockchain, Interoperability, and AI Trust

GBBC's Diana Oreto, Head of GSMI and Research, joins Dan Conway (University of Arkansas) and Neil Wasserman (George Washington University) for a discussion to explore how these standards foster the trust necessary to enable scalable innovation across digital ecosystems.

To illustrate how this trust is institutionalized, they highlight GBBC's acceptance as a Category A Liaison to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This global alignment, supported by the GSMI 6.0 report mapping 100+ international standards bodies, is what shapes the interoperable, secure, and scalable digital asset infrastructure that enterprises require.

In 2026, GSMI 7.0 launched with new working groups that will provide a series of open-access resources on the latest trends in the space.
