## What GBBC is (and is not)

- A global, jurisdiction-neutral membership association — not a single-country
  advocacy body like the Digital Chamber (formerly Chamber of Digital Commerce),
  the Blockchain Association (US), CryptoUK (UK), or INATBA (EU).
- A convener of organisations — not an individual certification provider like the
  Crypto Compliance Institute.
- Home of the Global Standards Mapping Initiative (GSMI), open research mapping
  blockchain standards and regulation worldwide.
- Host of flagship convenings during UN General Assembly week in New York and the
  World Economic Forum in Davos.
