European blockchain sandbox : best practices report; 2nd cohort

This best practices report presents the lessons learned, best practices and recommendations that were identified during regulatory dialogues that were held as part of the 2nd round of the European Blockchain Sandbox. The results of the 1st round of the European Blockchain Sandbox were published in June 2024. The reguatory dialogues for the 3rd and final round of the European Blockchain Sandbox are ongoing and the results are expected to be published by the end of 2025. The European Blockchain Sandbox is a regulatory sandbox which aims to establish a pan-European framework for regulatory dialogue. This initiative of the European Commission brings together national and EU regulators and authorities with providers of innovative blockchain/DLT applications in both the private and public sector to identify possible issues and solutions from a legal & regulatory perspective in a safe and confidential environment. The cross-border regulatory dialogues will allow innovators to better understand relevant laws and regulations. The exchanges will allow regulators and authorities to enhance their knowledge of cutting-edge technologies involving blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, and to exchange views and experiences with other regulators and authorities.
