What would drive a big wave of DePIN & IoT adoption in the next 3 years? We could see more Web3 projects registering as securities and entering the market in a fully compliant manner 👀 This will spur significant growth of fractionalized ownership of real-world assets, potentially surpassing anything we've seen to date in #Web3. In addition, the development of smart cities and autonomous cars will make IoT and #RWAs a basic requirement in the future, and they will all require some form of connectivity. This is where Chirp Wireless comes in 🔥 #Blockchain #Telecommunication

Innovators embrace clear regulations to launch products that solve problems, not create new ones. At the same time, staying abreast of the patchwork of regulations can be daunting: the global crypto regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, with regulatory authorities emphasizing consumer protection, financial stability, and combating illicit activities. The best authorities balance regulation to enhance innovation. At the end of the day, do the right thing. The entry of mature institutional players is fostering a more structured and transparent market environment. This transparency will help underwrite strong high integrity assets and perish shadowy projects. #CryptoRegulation #web3 #innovationpolicy

GDF is delighted to announce a collaboration with Crypto Council for Innovation. Having worked collaboratively with CCI over the last year on key policy papers, issues, and events, we are pleased to be taking things to the next level for the year ahead. This is especially timely given the importance UK policymakers are placing on staking and finding clear regulatory pathways in the year ahead. GDF and CCI represent two premier digital assets member associations, and our shared approach reflects our natural alignment. This collaboration represents a critical opportunity to present a holistic, mature and substantive view from our industry to policymakers and the new UK Government at a crucial time in the UK’s development of its cryptoassets regulatory regime. GDF and CCI are excited to be collaborating to support the UK digital assets ecosystem and to work with legislators, regulators, and policymakers to achieve appropriate regulatory outcomes that help grow and cement the UK’s leadership when it comes to responsible innovation. We are particularly pleased to be collaborating on the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Digital Finance. The APPG is soon to be reconstituted under the new government, and CCI and GDF will work closely to identify the themes and topics we want to explore with the APPG in 2025, as well as ensuring we capitalize on the APPG as a valuable education tool.
