In a bid to better understand the growing fintech and blockchain industry, many places in the world are setting up committees and advisory boards. Seoul in South Korea announced theirs in February 2019, and another pro-blockchain move and the U.S. state of Massachusetts is joining them.

It was reported on March 7, 2019, that the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Gavin has formed a fintech advisory group that will be responsible for giving feedback and input to the government on all thing fintech-related.

This is rather interesting, considering Gavin has previously been very critical of cryptocurrency.

This advisory group consists of representatives from Eastern Bank in Boston, Arwen, a blockchain firm, academics,  legal experts, as well as other companies in the fintech space.
