EU Blockchain Sandbox Project

Earlier this summer, the European Blockchain Sandbox project announced 20 diverse and innovative use cases selected from across the EU/EEA to participate in the second cohort of dialogues. These use cases are spread across EU/EEA regions and represent a wide range of industry sectors and regulatory issues. Over the past few months, the sandbox team has been consulting with relevant national and EU-level regulatory authorities to identify the most suitable regulatory bodies to participate in the second cohort of dialogues. Following the success of the first cohort, there has been significant interest from regulatory bodies across the EU/EEA to participate in this year's discussions.
