In this latest instalment of the regular MEF podcast on the world of Blockchain in telco, MEF CEO Dario Betti and blockchain expert Daniele Mensi talk about the European Commission (EC) announcement for a new blockchain “regulatory sandbox”; a 30-country pan-European initiative expected to be in place by 2022.

Daniele and Dario discuss what a sandbox might mean for enterprises applying blockchain tech to their businesses now. The sandbox will be used to provide an environment for developing use cases and demonstrate their regulatory implications, including concerning digital identity, data portability, and smart contracts in the environmental, energy, and health sectors. Is the EU moving fast on Blockchain now?
