We need to establish the right enabling environment – a Digital Single Market for blockchain so that all citizens can benefit, instead of a patchwork of initiatives. The EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum is an important step in that direction.”
ConsenSys is a worldwide venture production studio that was established by Joseph Lubin. It centers on developing software principally for the ethereum blockchain.
Valdis Dombrovskis, Vice-president of EC that is in charge of Financial Services, Financial Stability, and Capital Markets Union stated:
