Just the Facts: International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

Why do international standards matter for blockchain and digital assets?

Between security, privacy, and interoperability, global standards play an important role in building trust, supporting innovation, and advancing responsible blockchain adoption.

As a Category A Liaison to the ISO Technical Committee (TC) 307 for blockchain and DLT, GBBC breaks down ISO and its role in shaping global standards:

🔹 175 countries represented through ISO's national standards bodies 

🔹 26,000+ international standards and other deliverables across industries 

🔹 GBBC's Category A Liaison status, creating opportunities for members to contribute expertise to international standards development

Building on this engagement, GBBC's Technical Standards Working Group brings members together to coordinate participation in ISO/TC 307, align priorities, and contribute to the development of global blockchain and digital asset standards. A huge thank you to ISO/TC 307, including John Greaves and Caroline Thomas, for your support.
