WHO WE ARE
The Wall Street Blockchain Alliance (WSBA) is an industry leading non-profit trade association with a mission to guide and promote comprehensive adoption of blockchain technology across global markets.

The WSBA stands as a neutral, unbiased steward of education and cooperation between our global members who hail from industries as diverse as banking, investment management, law, accounting, technology and more.

​We continually work to fulfill our mission by engaging with global market participants, technology innovators,   regulators, policymakers and more through our many Working Groups, as well as by direct communication, comment letters and events. All of which is meant to guide the public dialogue about blockchain, cryptoassets and smart contracts, so that global markets can realize the full potential of these critical innovations.
​

WHAT WE DO

Blockchain, cryptoassets and smart contracts represent a seismic shift in how financial markets, and all aspects of the global economy, operate. In the same way that the internet gave us a powerful way to share and access information, blockchain technology now gives us a powerful way to share and access value.

As we work to incorporate and adapt these powerful advances in technology to the world, having an organized, strategic approach will help all participants involved in the global, distributed ledger ecosystem.

The long term result will be new asset classes, increased market efficiencies, more cost-effective technology solutions and ultimately greater value and wealth creation for all participants in global financial markets.

​"As we enter the Age of Blockchain Technology and Cryptoassets, financial market institutions and professionals require a member-driven organization that will fully and accurately represent their concerns to national and international government agencies and regulators, as well as to the technology innovators at the heart of this new era."
