Cryptocurrencies impact on society is increasing. Cryptocurrencies are being a cornerstone of tomorrow’s digital economy, it is therefore crucial to understand the opportunities they may offer, along with the risks they may carry.

This is why NATO has to gain a thorough understanding of the phenomenon in order to protect itself against adversarial use of cryptocurrencies but also to identify how to leverage them to achieve its goals in particular during stabilization operations.

Experts from all backrounds are invited to join the project team. Inputs are being collected through interviews and forums, and will be debated in a webinar. A simulation will test hypothesis.

Project Plan:

• 17 Apr 17: Experts Webinar Read Report
• Ongoing: Identify options for NATO to leverage crypto currencies in operations - Participate
