OECD Global Blockchain Policy Forum 2022: Web3 applications are set to transform how citizens experience social and economic life online, with new forms of goods and services, new models of social and economic organisation, and new levels of portability between platforms. It’s too early to know the full scale of changes, but investment and innovation are growing rapidly, with Bloomberg predicting “metaverse” technologies –the experiential element of web3 – will be a USD $800 billion market by 2024. Blockchain technology is widely expected to play a central role in underpinning web3’s more decentralised digital economy, and this session took stock of the early ramifications for policy implementation and market governance.
