Partner with us

OMFIF is forming a working group to explore the integration of public blockchain systems into the traditional financial system — particularly within the banking sector.

The working group serves as a key input for policy-makers during a time of dynamic policy formation. Members assert the robustness of public, permissionless infrastructure and demonstrate their role as safe, responsible participants in the ongoing transformation of capital markets.

Partners lead on:

  • Contribution in a final report with key policy recommendations
  • Participation in meetings with regulators and commercial banks
  • Direct engagement with policy-makers on blockchain engagement frameworks

About the Digital Monetary Institute

Digital Money Summit 2025

The landscape of finance is changing more rapidly than it has in living memory. New technologies are creating entirely new areas of business and potentially undermining established market infrastructures.

Amid this flux, policy-makers face vital questions. They must weigh their duty to preserve financial stability against the risk of stifling progress and the potential benefits that innovation can bring.

OMFIF’s Digital Monetary Institute is the leading convener of the public and private sectors on digital currencies and financial innovation. We provide a trusted platform for our global community of policy-makers, payment service providers, banks, and technology companies to explore both the risks and opportunities of the new digital economy.
