GSMI 7.0 Launches with the Legislative & Regulatory Developments Interactive Map and Regulators List

Since its inception in 2020, the Global Standards Mapping Initiative (GSMI), led by Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC), has grown into the industry’s most comprehensive effort to map, analyze, and connect the rapidly evolving digital assets ecosystem, bringing clarity to complexity at a global scale.

The open-source set of resources comprising GSMI spans 230+ jurisdictions across the regulatory landscape for blockchain & digital assets, tracks 100+ technical standards bodies shaping technical frameworks, maps 130+ academic programs supporting the next generation of talent, connects 2,000+ ecosystem stakeholders worldwide, and offers in-depth reports on the most pressing themes in the space.

Now, as we launch GSMI 7.0, the focus sharpens on what comes next with translating insights into alignment across markets, technologies, and policy.

The GSMI 7.0 workstreams have explored key areas shaping the future of the ecosystem, including: 

🔹 Agentic/AI & Blockchain 

🔹 Decentralized Finance (DeFi) & Vaults 

🔹 Dutch Caribbean Gap Analysis for Digital Payments 

🔹 EMEA Regional Spotlight 

🔹 Infrastructure for Tokenized Assets 

Driven by the expertise of IFC-Milken Institute Capital Markets Scholars Ahmed Arushadh and Estifanos Melkamu, the Legislative & Regulatory Developments Interactive Map tracks digital asset regulatory activity across more than 230 jurisdictions. Accompanying the map, the Regulators List identifies relevant authorities worldwide to support more informed and coordinated decision-making across markets.
