Statements from New Members

BitPay

“As one of the oldest cryptocurrency companies, BitPay’s goal is to make it easy for businesses to accept cryptocurrency,” said Stephen Pair, chief executive officer, BitPay. “We started in 2011 with a merchant processing solution and today offer a cross-border payment solution for businesses who need to send and receive international payments directly and more economically than traditional bank wires.  As a Chamber member, we want to support efforts to promote acceptance and education of cryptocurrency benefits to businesses globally.”

Civic

Personal data is increasingly vulnerable to data breaches, and many people still lack access to basic identification documents. Our digital identity ecosystem expands access to identity verification, empowering more businesses and individuals to interact efficiency, safely, and securely in the world,” Vinny Lingham, CEO and co-founder, Civic. “As Chamber of Digital Commerce members, we look forward to continue working with the community to break down adoption barriers, shape the emerging blockchain industry, and preserve incentives for innovation.”

SALT

“SALT Blockchain Financial Technology launched the first platform to offer membership-based borrowing, allowing people to leverage cryptocurrencies for cash loans while simultaneously giving financial institutions and investors a way to become indirectly involved with this new asset class,” said Shawn Owen, president & CEO, SALT Blockchain Financial Technology. “We are honored to join the list of top tier businesses supporting these important industry efforts.

Paul Atkins, CEO of Patomak Global Partners and former SEC Commissioner said, “The Token Alliance will serve a much needed role in helping the industry establish for itself appropriate guidance for this new and exciting asset class. I’m thrilled to be a part of this initiative and bring my service as a former securities regulator to help foster this ecosystem.”

The initial participants of the Token Alliance is comprised of more than 70 organizations including: Alluminate, AlphaPoint, Bankcoin Global, Blake Cassels & Graydon, Bloq, CMT Digital, Cognizant, Cooley, Crowell & Moring, Elliptic, Gem, Hashed Health, Loyyal, Microsoft, Netki, Node40, Parsons & Whittemore, Perkins Coie, Polsinelli, Qtum, Reed Smith, Rimon Law, Rivetz, Steptoe & Johnson, t0 and Tally Capital.

“As with all new technologies, it is important to set appropriate guidelines to curb potential abuse, while protecting innovation,” said Perianne Boring, Founder and President, Chamber of Digital Commerce. “We look forward to working with our members to continue to promote and advocate for the power of the blockchain.”

The Token Alliance is open to participants from across technology, legal, advisory and other sectors, with an expertise in blockchain technology. Companies interested in learning more and participating are encouraged to contact the Chamber of Digital Commerce at: policy@digitalchamber.org.
