Common language is fundamental for collaboration and continued developments in the blockchain space. This GSMI working group has built a landscape of 350 terms and existing definitions from global standards bodies and other international and industry-specific entities, which it continues to update. The purpose is to foster harmonized vocabulary, particularly at the regulatory level, and ultimately promote collaboration and growth. The GSMI 6.0 Taxonomy working group incorporates and aligns with GBBC’s work with the U.S. CFTC on digital asset taxonomy and categorization.
Blockchain technology, as any other innovation, relies on common standards to ensure proper functioning and growth, where common rules can facilitate global cooperation and scale. This working group assesses existing technical standards developments and sectors of focus for responsible growth and continued innovation, updating a crowdsourced list of 63 bodies advancing technical standards in the blockchain and digital assets space and categorizing them based on their intended outcome focused on technical issues, regulatory compliance, or conduct/governance.
Blockchain technology is promising for global trade, which often relies on cumbersome and inefficient processes, by providing authenticity and provenance. This working group focuses on supply chains for critical minerals utilized for the most essential products that humanity relies on. The group explores blockchain and AI solutions to meet global sustainable management guidelines, in addition to a commentary on: company needs (featuring selected jurisdictions like DRC), the role of other stakeholders and government, and recommendations for sustainable and transparent supply chains for critical minerals.
Blockchain can enable models of self-sovereign identity, expanding access to undeserved communities while improving privacy and security of personal data. This working group evaluates the role of blockchain to establish identity systems that can benefit economies and societies, particularly with an interest in privacy preserving tools. This working group assesses global standards for identity, self-sovereign ownership models, and novel issues presented by innovative privacy preserving approaches.
Blockchain can address many concerns arising from AI by ensuring verified and trusted data. This group assesses the features of blockchain technology that can provide a better governance framework for AI.

Digital money has arisen in various forms, with a wide array of features and design principles that open new opportunities and risks for the future of commerce and economic activity globally. In addition to payment solutions that are streamlining operations and increasing access significantly, wallet solutions are a particular area that is being envisioned to facilitate the opportunities of digital money. This working group explores the opportunities, risks, and regulatory implications of wallet solutions in the context of global payment systems and the digital money innovations enabled by blockchain technology.
Tokenization is presenting a new universe of opportunity with the exchange of any asset represented on a blockchain, as well as the custody of these new forms of tokenized value. While tokenization can span across use cases for payment solutions, it can also span digital twins for any form of asset. This working group evaluates the end to end value chain of tokenized assets, with a focus on custody solutions available to store tokenized assets – from primary markets, settlement, and secondary markets.
