With the existing corporate members including BlockEx, Blockchain Intelligence Group, Calypso, among others, KPMG will use its position in the group work to facilitate the growth and adoption of distributed ledger technology across all financial markets.
Ron Quaranta, Chairman of the WSBA, said:
"We look forward to collaborating with them [KPMG], as our global members and indeed the world, begin to implement blockchain innovations across financial markets and beyond."
The move marks the latest consortium effort for KPMG, which last year launched a blockchain services suite, partnered with Microsoft to further its industry exploration and began speaking openly about its belief the technology could impact its clients.
