# Digital Assets Association Austria

> Shaping the future of Austria's digital asset ecosystem

Digital Assets Association Austria (DAAA) is a non-profit industry association for digital assets. It connects companies, regulators, and innovators to advance education, standards, and cooperation in Austria's blockchain ecosystem.

Digital Assets Association Austria (DAAA) is a non-profit industry association focused on the digital assets sector. It supports the development of an ecosystem for digital assets in Austria by bringing together companies, regulators, and innovators active in blockchain and related technologies. The association is aimed at startups, established businesses, policymakers, and institutions engaged with digital assets, and it does not lobby on behalf of members.

The association was formed to address the legal and regulatory uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and digital assets as these technologies gained relevance to the Austrian economy. It works through expert groups covering areas such as business, tax, financing, and education, where members contribute to knowledge exchange, development of standards, feedback on legislative drafts, and clarification of tax-related questions. This structure allows the association to translate technical developments into terms usable by regulators and the broader public.

DAAA organizes events, working groups, and publications, and maintains an advisory board and member lounge for its community. Its activities center on representation of interests, networking, and education related to digital assets, serving startups, corporates, and public institutions across the Austrian and wider DACH digital asset community.
