AllianceBlock will gain access to a network of influential industry leaders as it joins one of the world’s leading blockchain associations, accelerating the development of Crypto Valley’s tools, solutions, and research, and contributing to policy across the rapidly evolving decentralized finance space.

In the past several years, blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and decentralized finance (DeFi) have overcome significant hurdles. We have seen exponential growth in the decentralized services space, particularly when it comes to DeFi, due to an inflow of funding and increased interest in new, blockchain-based technologies, driven by the recognition that such solutions can substantially improve the way the world works.

However, formal regulatory oversight, taxation policies, research, collaboration, user onboarding, and education have not kept pace with the rapid growth of DeFi services and opportunities.

To address this issue, AllianceBlock has joined the Crypto Valley Association (CVA), one of the world’s most renowned blockchain ecosystems. The CVA supports and connects startups and established enterprises via policy recommendations, cross-industry partnerships, research, conferences, and synergetic collaboration.

Thanks to its deep connections with other blockchain hubs around the world, the CVA promotes efforts that foster blockchain and cryptographic technology innovation. We recently participated in the CVA conference held in the Crypto Valley, where we solidified our new partnership.

The future of finance is an integrated system that brings together the best of traditional and decentralized finance to increase capital flows and technological innovation. In line with our mission, AllianceBlock’s product suite bridges the two spheres, addressing issues that exist in both and linking them more closely together.

An important part of our mission is facilitating compliant access to new decentralized markets, creating a next-generation financial infrastructure that provides regulated financial entities around the world with the tools they need to seamlessly access the DeFi space.

By joining the CVA AllianceBlock will be able to further expand into Switzerland, where we recently opened new corporate headquarters in Zug, and help turbocharge local DeFi opportunities and projects. Furthermore, AllianceBlock will be joining CVA’s Working Groups. These Working Groups meet on a regular basis and produce thought leadership content from experienced industry pioneers. As a member of these Working Groups, we will have the opportunity to have a stake in conversations about regulation, taxation rules, policy development, funding, and research that affect local as well as global blockchain and fintech companies.

CVA Working Groups also organize events, foster collaboration and cooperation, acting as a springboard for new ideas, innovation, and discussions about how to create a blockchain future that benefits everyone.

Anders Christensen, CMO at AllianceBlock, said “Connecting ecosystems is at the core of what we do. The AllianceBlock Ecosystem is a collaborative model that links talent, innovation, governments, and capital to help democratize investing for everyone. We are delighted to be joining the CVA, cementing our position as an important player in the Crypto Valley Ecosystem that is dedicated to fostering growth and innovation across the blockchain industry.”

As a new CVA member, AllianceBlock will have better access to fundraising opportunities and CVA’s investment network while also being able to participate in CVA events to expand on our exposure in Switzerland. We will also have the opportunity to build on the DeFi ecosystem with other innovative companies, connect with industry leaders, create alliances with other organizations, joining a wide range of Working Groups, from the Regulatory and Taxation Working Group to the Research and Policy Working Groups.

As the blockchain industry continues its march forward, AllianceBlock, the CVA, and its members are excited about the opportunities, challenges, and innovative new developments that are yet to come.
