Policy

GBBC is dedicated to furthering adoption of blockchain technology by convening regulators, business leaders, and global changemakers to foster collaboration, advance education, and elevate dialogue to create more secure, equitable, and functional societies.

Through GBBC's work on policy and regulation, we seek to contribute to the development of policy and standards through shared engagement between the public and private sectors, working to foster trust and develop long-term relationships by:

Driving cross-community collaboration between members on emerging policy and regulatory topics;
Advocating for policy outcomes that protect consumers and champion economic growth and innovation through engagement via roundtables, consultations responses, and policy reports;
Encouraging policy and regulatory discussions that improve education around policy and outcomes across the broader community.

Is there an ongoing consultation or emerging policy issue that you wish to discuss with the GBBC policy team?
