VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Finhaven™ Technology Inc. announced two key strategic partnerships at the LA Blockchain Summit, in Los Angeles, California, USA.

On November 1st, at the blockchain technology and investment conference Finhaven announced a partnership with Blockchain@UBC to build Finhaven™ Chain — a public blockchain for central banks and regulated entities.

Finhaven’s vision is to build a CBDC infrastructure with the global blockchain community. Finhaven Chain will leverage open source efforts with people who have a variety of expertises, such as banking & finance, laws & regulations, monetary policy, project management, design, products, and software development.
