Dear BGIN Members,

We are delighted to announce that the **Blockchain Governance Initiative Network (BGIN) has joined the roster of co-organizers for the upcoming** **Global Digital Collaboration on Wallets & Credentials (GC25)**. As a co-organizer, BGIN has a unique opportunity to shape the agenda and ensure that governance perspectives are front-and-center in the global conversation on digital identity, credentials, and wallet interoperability.
