In partnership with HASHED Emergent, a Web 3.0 investment firm focused on India and emerging markets, HASHED announced the launch of a global blockchain industry policy community called HASHED Open Dialogue for Law (#HODL).
The newly formed community aims to facilitate discussions on blockchain industry regulation among stakeholders worldwide, including founders, investors, lawyers, regulators, and policymakers.
The rapid development of blockchain technology has led to the widespread emergence of decentralized systems, increasing the impact of the Web 3.0 ecosystem on the global economy.
However, regulatory frameworks and institutions have struggled to keep up, resulting in a growing gap between regulation and innovation.
#HODL aims to create an environment where regulatory elements can be harmonized to protect consumers while fostering innovation in the blockchain sector.
HODL has established three guiding principles to achieve this goal: promoting technological literacy to recognize emerging technologies’ unique capabilities and limitations, protecting fundamental rights in the crypto-asset space, and adopting a global perspective to address differences and build consensus across countries.
As part of its efforts, HODL will interview renowned figures and share relevant knowledge through platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and regular newsletters.
In addition, during the upcoming Korea Blockchain Week 2023 (KBW2023), HODL plans to host the 2nd Global Regulatory Symposium, inviting prominent figures to contribute to the discussion on regulatory harmonization in the blockchain industry.
