TokenSoft is now a part of the Blockchain Association— a cryptocurrency lobbying and blockchain-awareness group working with regulators and public officials in the U.S.
On April 27, TokenSoft announced that they are now a part of the Blockchain Association.
The organization’s main thrust is to “educate regulators and elected officials on the advantages” of the blockchain. TokenSoft’s main role will be to lead the guidance efforts for “regulators and policymakers through Blockchain Association’s Security Token Working Group.”
What are TokenSoft’s primary objectives in the partnership?
According to the announcement, TokenSoft seeks to achieve the following objectives from the partnership:
- Regulatory Clarity – increase the awareness of regulators on how the blockchain works and its use cases, in order to formulate the appropriate regulatory framework.
- Enhanced Compliance – educate and guide regulators and public policymakers on how security tokens work, as well as the standards that underpin its functions. Providing information on how token standards such as ERC-1404 can be utilized in promoting better regulatory compliance is a part of this objective.
- Greater Automation – proper evaluation and guidance on how the blockchain infrastructure can be automated and improved in order to promote accountability and lower the instances of transaction errors.
Kristin Smith, executive director of the Blockchain Association welcomed TokenSoft’s inclusion in the organization. According to Smith:
“We’re excited to add TokenSoft’s expertise as we work with regulators to create nuanced standards to spur the blockchain economy’s growth. Securities law remains a vital issue and the TokenSoft team provides important perspective in support of a pro-business and pro-consumer regulatory solution.”
What does the Blockchain Association do?
What the Blockchain Association will do is lobby. It means that the organization will be establishing a dialogue to foster understanding among different stakeholders about the intricacies and advantages of blockchain technology, including U.S. regulators and policymakers. Blockchain Association is the first cryptocurrency lobbying group in the U.S.
As of now, the Blockchain Association is joined by other popular cryptocurrency firms such as Coinbase, Circle, Protocol Labs, Digital Currency Group, and Polychain Capital. The organization represents “many voices bringing value to the blockchain arena.”
