Policy & Global Engagements
Where industry and regulators do the work together.
GBBC contributes to the development of policy and standards through shared engagement between the public and private sectors — building trust, and long-term relationships, one jurisdiction at a time.
GBBC's Role
01
Driving cross-community collaboration between members on emerging policy and regulatory topics.
02
Educating on policy outcomes that protect consumers and champion growth through roundtables, consultation responses, and reports.
03
Encouraging policy discussions that improve education around outcomes across the broader community.
How we engage
Consultation responses
Responses aimed at encouraging regulation that is practical, effective, and beneficial for stakeholders across the digital asset community and the communities around it.
Comment letters
Proactive engagement in shaping global regulatory frameworks, ensuring the industry's voice contributes to balanced, well-informed policy.
Agency roundtables & outreach
Roundtable events, member consultation drives, and closed-door forums create direct dialogue between industry and global agencies.
By region
Four regional programs plus a global track, one coordinated position
Members plug into the regions where they operate, and the Global hub coordinates cross-border standards work. Positions are coordinated globally so the industry speaks with one evidence base.
Global
One coordinated GBBC position across every jurisdiction. The global track brings the whole membership together on cross-border standards — FSB and IOSCO recommendations, FATF guidance, and the global taxonomies that make digital assets interoperable between markets.
- Global standard-setting bodies: FSB, IOSCO, FATF, and BCBS
- Cross-border payments and the G20 roadmap
- Global taxonomies and token classification standards
