ABOUT THE BRITISH BLOCKCHAIN ASSOCIATION

An evidence-led institution for blockchain policy, research, industry and global collaboration.

The British Blockchain Association is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2017, following the founding conversations in 2016. We advance responsible blockchain adoption through evidence, education and informed dialogue.

Our work connects parliamentarians, researchers, industry leaders, practitioners and international associations, creating a platform where policy, scholarship and real-world adoption can inform one another.
