Global Digital Finance (GDF), the leading global industry association accelerating digital finance through the adoption of best practices and standards, announces a strategic partnership with Adan, the largest European association representing the Web 3 industry, defending their competitiveness and promoting appropriate, proportionate, and innovation-friendly regulations.
As the digital asset industry matures, cross-border collaboration and shared frameworks are essential to support market development and regulatory compliance. This partnership marks a significant step towards strengthening industry engagement, increasing visibility, and enhancing community collaboration across Europe.
A Collaborative Vision for the Future of Digital Finance in Europe
GDF and Adan share a commitment to promoting the adoption of crypto assets and blockchain technologies within the entire economy. Through this partnership, both organizations will engage in joint activities, including policy outreach, shared participation in working groups, and collaborative events such as roundtables and webinars. By leveraging each other’s networks and expertise, GDF and Adan aim to expand opportunities for their members, support industry growth, and foster the development of a more integrated digital finance ecosystem.

"We are excited to partner with Adan as we continue to advocate for the adoption of best practices and governance standards in digital finance. This partnership will allow us to align our efforts, exchange knowledge, and strengthen our engagement with the broader European digital finance community. Together, we can drive innovation and help shape a transparent, inclusive, and globally connected financial system."
Faustine Fleuret, President and General Manager at Adan, says:
"As we still remain at the beginning of the Web 3 history and need to get all public leaders, non-native companies and users on board, the industry must work closely together. Therefore, Adan is glad to build such a valuable and constructive partnership with GDF that will accelerate our respective actions and encourage some collective initiatives to achieve our common goals: develop a powerful and competitive Web 3 economy in Europe."
