Why Should Governments Join the GBA?
A GBA Government Membership fosters economic development by creating a supportive environment for blockchain, digital asset, and crypto innovation. Through incubators, maturity assessments, and engagement with global experts, the program helps agencies cultivate scalable, real-world solutions. By advancing these projects to global markets, GBA opens the door to international business opportunities, attracts investment, and generates new tax revenue, positioning government entities as leaders in the digital economy and strengthening local and regional ecosystems.
At the same time, GBA membership helps reduce risk by providing structured guidance throughout the innovation process. With access to trusted frameworks like the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM), members can evaluate solution readiness and ensure technologies meet governance, security, and compliance standards. GBA’s working groups, training programs, and independent verification and validation (IV&V) services empower agencies to make informed decisions, minimizing technical, regulatory, and operational risks while accelerating responsible innovation.
