The Institute for Blockchain Innovation (IBI) continues its growth as the leading global think tank for the Digital Securities or Security Token Industry. The think tank brings together the world's innovators in the Digital Securities space, along with leaders from corporate, academic, regulatory, entrepreneurial, venture capital, and governmental backgrounds. The IBI has been a global pioneer in the Digital Securities space and its current members include among others the leaders from Securitize, Polymath, 500 Startups, Ausum Ventures and many other pioneers in the Digital Securities space. New IBI founding members announced today include:

Invector Labs, CEO, Jesus Rodriguez

They join existing IBI founding members in playing an instrumental role bringing together the global leaders of the blockchain and traditional finance to establish standards and best practices to enable and encourage the global community to take advantage of the full power of the blockchain in capital markets in the rapidly growing Digital Securities space.

"We are at the beginning of a multi-trillion dollar shift in the way capital will be raised and traded through the merging of blockchain and Wall Street," says IBI Founder and Chairman Gregory Keough. "This will create both new asset classes as well as provide inherent benefits to the global financial system by providing greater security and transparency, increased efficiencies and speed, while at the same time reducing costs."

The IBI believes that the blockchain will be a powerful engine for bringing more people into the financial system and providing equal access to all players globally.
