‘Blockchain technology, with its potential to revolutionise industries and empower individuals, presents immense opportunities. Thus, regulation plays a pivotal role in this transformative landscape as it fosters trust and legitimacy,’ said Patrick Prinz, Public Affairs Director EU at BSV Blockchain Association.
‘By establishing clear rules and standards, governments and regulatory bodies create an environment where businesses and individuals can confidently engage with blockchain. This trust is essential to attract traditional financial institutions, investors, and the broader public, encouraging their participation in this ecosystem. Moreover, regulation helps mitigate the risk of fraudulent activities and scams, ensuring that the blockchain space remains a safe and secure space for innovation.’

The BSV Blockchain Association is pro-regulation
The BSV Blockchain Association is pro-regulation and believes that the global adoption of blockchain technology requires enterprises and lawmakers to become comfortable with legal compliance by industry participants.
To ensure the development of a regulatory environment that both fosters lawful conduct and facilitates innovation, the Association regularly engages with leading policymakers to advise on the development of positive policy.
We believe that regulation provides clarity on legal obligations, encouraging compliance, good governance, and accountability. It also fosters innovation and market development by providing a clear legal framework, building trust, and attracting investment.
