Russian FinTech Association will be revealing the latest developments of blockchain technology in the country during the World Blockchain Summit.
Russia is set to reveal the latest trends and developments toward the use of blockchain technology for financial solutions. Through the Russian FinTech Association (RFTA), blockchain investors and entrepreneurs will learn what steps the country is taking to include ledger-based technology in public and private organizations.
The association will disclose the latest advances of blockchain technology at the World Blockchain Summit in Moscow on April 26 to 27, 2018. This summit aims to gather the leading industry experts so they can discuss how to create more value through ledger-based technology.
Raising Awareness on Blockchain Technology
The RFTA aims to become the leader in blockchain technology in Europe by conducting research, analyzing trends, and using global best practices. It also implements new solutions to support the development and digitalization of Russia’s financial market.
Olga Skorobogatova, chair of the supervisory board of the RFTA, said Russia’s blockchain strategy changes the landscape of ledger-based technology. In an interview, she said this strategy shows how the government managed to channel the limitless potential that blockchain technology has to offer.
Sergey Solonin, chief executive officer of the RFTA, said:
“The financial system governs the entire market and productivity of a particular nation. We aim to boost the efficiency of our national resources by decentralizing the entire financial solutions and services sector through the systematic and schematic implementation of blockchain technology. We are leaving no stone unturned by devoting our attention to the retail payment-space sector as well.”
Despite the opportunities, there remains an atmosphere of fear of dabbling into blockchain technology. Potential traders and investors are still cautious because of the lack of regulations and authorization boards. Thus, the RFTA has associated with the World Blockchain Summit in an effort to raise awareness on the technology.
