San Marino, one of the oldest republics in the world, today announced its growing commitment to innovation and regulation in the blockchain space.
The Government has relegated to San Marino Innovation, a state-owned company, the responsibility of being the authority in charge of blockchain regulation.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the Republic’s reputation as a global hub for blockchain based technologies.
A world-class team
San Marino Innovation has immediately started working and is creating a team of world-class consultants.
Just today it was announced that José Maria Macedo, head of consulting at the blockchain consultancy company AmaZix, will join the scientific committee as a tokeconomy expert.
