Being the blockchain people know and trust is a top priority for us at SDF. One of the ways we do that is by helping educate policymakers about blockchain technology, building confidence in this technology and particularly in Stellar. A couple weeks ago, I had an exciting opportunity to do this important work on Capitol Hill.
I joined a panel of experts to brief members of the House Financial Services Committee FinTech Task Force about blockchain technology and its role in transforming financial services. I used my time in front of the Committee to share the meaningful ways Stellar is used around the world, especially to support remittances, and to emphasize the importance of regulatory clarity to drive innovation. I was encouraged by the reception around how corridors, like the one we have open between Nigeria and Europe, play a role in financial inclusion and banking the unbanked. It was a great step forward for us to have open, informative discussions with Members of Congress. You can read my takeaways from the event and see my remarks here. I look forward to many more of these discussions in the future!
