Yuval Rooz, co-founder and CEO of Digital Asset, has been appointed to join the board of directors of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC).
Rooz’s appointment to the board will become official at the next meeting of the GBBC’s general assembly in September.
Digital Asset, the creators of Daml, has also become a GBBC leadership member.
As part of the membership, Digital Asset will work closely with GBBC on several strategic initiatives, including GSMI 2.0, a continuation and expansion of the first comprehensive effort to map blockchain and digital asset standards and regulation globally.
Commenting on his appointment, Rooz says: “From programmes that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals to launching initiatives for universal standards across blockchain projects, the GBBC has become the go-to organization to facilitate dialogue and collaboration across the blockchain ecosystem. I am excited to join the board of directors at the GBBC and look forward to contributing to their key initiatives.”
Sandra Ro, CEO of GBBC, notes that Yuval brings leadership in driving “a new mindset for creating a global economic network based on fully interconnected systems enabled by blockchain to the GBBC”.
“We look forward to working with Yuval and the team at Digital Asset to advance the business of blockchain, and further industry efforts to enhance interoperability and develop standards,” Ro adds.
In January, Exberry and Digital Asset teamed up with Baymarkets to add central counterparty clearing to their end-to-end digital asset exchange platform.
The new partnership was set to enable new digital asset marketplaces to launch on an end-to-end exchange platform, which will include registry, custody, trading, matching and clearing services.
