Economic Analysis Working Group Launches

Every Thursday at 2:00 PM (New York)

The group brings together economists, policy leaders, technologists, researchers, and industry professionals to evaluate the economic impacts of blockchain, digital assets, cryptocurrency adoption, and related technologies. Its work includes analysis of blockchain return on investment, cryptocurrency market adoption, competitive dynamics between currencies and cryptocurrencies, impacts on financial services, and implications for currency markets and international trade.

The Economic Analysis Working Group provides a forum for thoughtful, impartial discussion about how emerging technologies may affect local, regional, national, and global economies. Government agencies, consulting organizations, and other stakeholders can benefit from the group’s work in areas such as cost-benefit analysis, economic impact assessment, and strategic evaluation of blockchain initiatives.

One of the group’s important upcoming tasks will be contributing to a report scheduled for release this Fall at the U.S. Capitol and at the United Nations during The Future of Money, Governance and the Law, taking place September 29–October 2, 2026.

This report will help inform public-sector leaders, international institutions, and industry stakeholders as they consider the economic, legal, and governance implications of blockchain and digital finance. Working group participants will have an opportunity to contribute insight, research, analysis, and practical experience to a publication intended for high-level policy and institutional audiences.

GBA invites members and interested professionals to participate in the weekly meetings and help shape this important body of work.
