The Commission’s Directorate General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) is hosting a webinar to present a recent report about permissionless blockchains in finance. Authored by Professor Fabian Schär of the University of Basel, the report analyses the potential of integrating permissionless blockchain technology into the traditional financial sector. In the 75‑minute webinar, the author will present the report’s main findings, followed by a Q&A session.

DG FISMA warmly invites industry professionals, researchers, regulators, policymakers and other stakeholders with an interest in distributed ledger technology (DLT) in finance to join this webinar. The continued engagement of the public and private sector stakeholders is crucial for supporting the responsible use of DLT in Europe.
