Originally posted on July 16, the News page for the Chamber of Digital Commerce announced the addition of several Blockchain Industry leaders to its existing Executive Committee. The Chamber of Digital Commerce claims to be, “The worlds leading blockchain trade association.”
Established in 2014, the Chamber of Digital Commerce is a group of cryptocurrency advocates and blockchain industry leaders united to serve the non-profit mission of promoting the industry and technology behind Bitcoin and other blockchain digital assets. Some of the initiatives sponsored by the Chamber are the annual DC Blockchain Summit, and the 2017 Congressional Blockchain Education Day.
The likes of BitPay, Civic, DocuSign, Nexus, and Salt, join the Executive Committee of the non-profit industry giants Discover, Microsoft, and TD Bank among others.
“We’re pleased to welcome the new member companies to the Chamber,” said Perianne Boring, founder, and president, Chamber of Digital Commerce. “These innovative companies are re imagining financial services and redefining the way consumers and businesses participate in the emerging blockchain-based economy. We welcome their perspective and expertise as we continue in our work to advocate for the power and future of blockchain.”
Perianne Boring is leading the Chamber of Digital Commerce into the “Worlds largest trade association representing the blockchain industry.”
She still currently runs a Forbes column titled “The Beauty of the Blockchain.”
The announcement is generally bullish news for the sideways running crypto markets. Even with the last few days of general growth, the market has seemed to have stalled since early June. The gathering of industry minds, companies, and thought leaders can be nothing but good news for the long-term growth of the markets. BitPay CEO Stephen Pair says in a statement,
“We started in 2011 with a merchant processing solution and today offer a cross-border payment solution for businesses who need to send and receive international payments directly and more economically than traditional bank wires. As a Chamber member, we want to support efforts to promote acceptance and education of cryptocurrency benefits to businesses globally.”
With investors the world over conflicted on whether the market will regain its composure and reverse from this long-term bear trend, I believe that most of us could agree that good news related to industry developments should be shouted from rooftops.
