Lithuania is very active about the development of the blockchain technology. Recently the central bank of Lithuania has launched a new regulatory “sandbox” for startups working with blockchain. Yesterday, Blockchain Centre Vilnius officially launched, aiming to become a global gateway to EU for blockchain technology. It is a non-profit association that unites blockchain entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and regulators from around the world. Our advisor and NEM.io president, Lon Wong, is the member of the board.

To explore the potential of the blockchain technology, Pundi X and Blockchain Centre Vilnius has signed the MoU, which Pundi X will provide Blockchain Centre Vilnius access to research facilities and scientists as well as establishing a dialogue between European and Asian regulators and blockchain startups.

We are happy to be part of this initiative and look forward to contributing and collaborating in the near future.
