“Launch of the Global Standards Mapping Initiative (GSMI) to the global crypto & blockchain community”
The Global Standards Mapping Initiative (GSMI) is the most in depth, comprehensive, global multi-stakeholder standards project developed with the support from the GBBC, World Economic Forum (WEF), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Accenture, SDX, Global Digital Finance (GDF), ING, Hyperledger and other critical partners to map the state of digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain standards. Why? To answer the question, ‘where are we as an industry in standards setting?’ Initial key findings, trends, gaps, inconsistencies and conflicts are highlighted in Version 1.0. By identifying and consolidating the patchwork of efforts across legal and regulatory, technical, and industry consortia realms, GSMI is setting out to chart a path forward to greater adoption and scaling of the next multi-trillion dollar industry in the making.
On the date of the official launch of the GSMI, this panel brings together relevant partners to give the global crypto & blockchain community a preview of the research initiative and its findings. The presentation will also highlight the high level of cooperation necessary to bring this to life, the importance of providing open access to this data, and how the GSMI will be used to chart a path forward.

Wednesday, October 14th 4:30pm – 5:30pm PDT/5:30pm – 6:30pm MDT/7:30pm – 8:30pm EDT/
