Former White House Chief of Staff said in the same statement: “I believe the U.S. advancement of blockchain development and policy is crucial to our continued success as a global leader in technological evolution.”
Perianne Boring pointed out the importance of getting a variety of expertise in the chamber.
The joining of Visa and Goldman Sachs follows the trend of the more significant participation of big banks and payment card issuers in the crypto world. Cuy Sheffield, head of Crypto at Visa, said:
“Visa continuously explores new payment innovations like digital currencies and how they might be able to connect to or expand our existing network and products.”
Why does this matter?
The latest joining of the banks and individuals to the Chamber of Digital Commerce shows that crypto is supported more widely and being taken seriously. More and more people understand how important and beneficial blockchain technology is, for a wide range of participants, from supply chains to the global economy.
Established In 2014, the Chamber is entirely devoted to educating lawmakers about the possible advantages of blockchain. In February 2019, the Chamber called on the U.S. government to create a federal framework for crypto legislation.
