Cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly embedded in the global financial system which has resulted in government authorities keeping a closer eye on decentralized solutions. Until now, there has been a lack of infrastructure for regulators and banks to test the proper framework for a harmonious blockchain-banking-based financial services industry.
Thanks to the API3 & Open Bank Project partnership, the sector is ripe for standardization and ready to be incorporated into mainstream consumer financial technologies – a process which can be powered by both financial institutions and Web 3.0.
Join the Open Bank Project and API3 to find out how traditional finance and blockchain usage will converge to create a new generation of blockchain banking-based offerings.

Takeaways
– Open Banking data and capabilities will be directly available to the Web 3.0 ecosystem
– Blockchains and dApps could benefit by incorporating digital banking services and vice versa

– Regulatory standardization is imminent for a secured connection between off-chain data and the Web 3.0
– For the first time in the history of blockchain, institutional involvement in the Web 3.0 space has acquired a significant stake in the web3.0, thus assuring an inevitable path towards consumer adoption
