GDF works with industry participants, policy makers and regulators, and other industry bodies across the world to develop a global framework of supranational best practices and Codes of Conduct for tokens, crypto and digital assets market participants. GDF engages policymakers, regulators and industry through regular outreach and provides a platform for transparent, inclusive and open-sourced global consultations.

“GDF is delighted to partner with the Crypto Valley Association and join the CVA community, who plays a leading role in nurturing the crypto asset ecosystem in Switzerland, Europe and throughout the world. We look forward to working together to further build the community and amplify the progressive policy developments in Switzerland across our global community of market participants and regulator observers,” says Teana Baker-Tayler, Executive Director of Global Digital Finance.

“Digital assets are global, which challenges current jurisdictional governance models. GDF’s mission is to help create cross-border industry-led standards through convening the digital assets community, in collaboration with regulators and policymakers. Partnerships with high-calibre industry associations enable industry advocates to work together to support all of our members, connecting them with each other and with policymakers to enhance education, communication and hopefully over time, more informed governance policies which are ‘fit for purpose’,” adds Baker-Taylor.

“We are glad to have found a new partner in Global Digital Finance. Establishing standards and best practices in the digital asset space is necessary to build a successful foundation for a global, unified and efficient infrastructure. Simply applying “old world rules to an entirely new system” will not work and an entirely new, fresh approach to digital assets is needed. This is something we are driving and supporting with our expertise and SMEs. Collaboration in the distributed ledger space is essential for adoption and success. We are delighted to represent Switzerland on the international stage and broaden our community with valuable partnerships such as this one. We are looking forward to continue co-creating the future,” commented Alexander Schell, Executive Director of the Crypto Valley Association.
