Now a member of industry association Frankfurt Main Finance

Finance Loop has joined Frankfurt Main Finance, an association promoting Frankfurt as an international financial center. Frankfurt Main Finance pools the strengths of the market participants in the financial center, markets the location and creates forums for discussion. Finance Loop participates in these discussions about emerging technologies in finance.

Emerging technologies, such as blockchains and digital assets, have the potential to transform the financial industry. Their accessibility, speed, efficiency, lower costs, transparency, and security allow them to challenge existing financial system infrastructure. Emerging technologies also require existing business models and regulatory frameworks to adapt to enable innovation and progress.

"Our goal is to play an important role in enabling the dialog about emerging technologies in finance," said Michael Wellenbeck, Member of the Finance Loop Advisory Board. "Finance Loop is eager to contribute to Frankfurt Main Finance and the financial community as a whole further by providing a platform for exchange and innovation."

Finance Loop is educating people about the usefulness of emerging technologies. Finance Loop believes that technology adaptation in finance is a continuous process and can only happen with regulatory clarity as well as compliant solutions. Finance Loop focuses on Europe and connects existing finance and technology communities across Germany.
