We’re excited to announce that ShapeShift has joined the Global Digital Finance (GDF) Advisory Council! The council focuses on educating lawmakers by bringing the digital asset community together; from regulators and government bodies to startups and investors.

Why is ShapeShift partnering with Global Digital Finance?

GDF is raising awareness for crypto on a global scale, and that’s something that we’re eager to be a part of. The organization is a membership body, pushing for the adoption of best practices in digital finance through the engagement of industry leaders and policy-makers alike. We’re supportive of the relationship-building efforts and desire to educate regulators on crypto.

GDF is uniquely balanced, looking to blend the worlds of traditional finance and digital assets. The reasoning behind this is to help the financial world evolve, as innovative and groundbreaking tech continues to develop. The organization’s goal is to bring everyone to the table for inclusive, beneficial discussions and education on cryptocurrencies.
