The World Economic Forum's outlook on where we are headed in 2021: digital identities need more regulation, established institutions are leveraging crypto and blockchain to improve business processes, the trend towards more inclusion is growing and that we are all becoming more accepting of decentralized systems.
This last point is the most important. It reminds me of good parents... they let their children go out into the world (with smarts... like smart contracts!) to grow and discover opportunities!
However, here are very few regulations or industry standards to prevent fragmentation of technical solutions, protect privacy or promote inclusivity, interoperability and portability – all essential principles – for digital credentialing beyond time-sensitive use cases.

A note to the industry about who to work with:
We have "NO SALES ZONE" sessions to select the leading tech solutions, stacks, vendors, consultants (and most relevant Netflix series). This must be, of course, managed by our most reliable sales people...
