WTIA Cascadia Blockchain Council

A collaborative group of companies, universities, and government agencies dedicated to making the Cascadia region a global hub for blockchain development.

The WTIA Cascadia Blockchain Council is helping blockchain companies from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA to Vancouver, BC reach their full potential. We serve as the subject matter experts and collective voice to better advocate for constructive public policy and educate key stakeholders, especially investors.

We’re doing this by:

Proactively communicating with and engaging all interested blockchain companies and stakeholders.

Creating and maintaining a strong, supportive regulatory environment at the city, state, and federal level.

Producing events to share lessons learned and successful use cases of blockchain technology across the entire economy.

Providing benefits and services designed to support the growth of blockchain companies.

Documenting, benchmarking, and publishing blockchain application impacts and outcomes -- targeted to investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.

Maintaining an active database of blockchain related companies and activity in Washington state.

We accomplished a LOT together in 2022.
