The Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA) announced their white paper, "Modern Foundations of Personal Finance: Literacy and Infrastructure in the Digital Economy," was selected as featured research for DC Fintech Week 2026. Lead author Molly Woodman, along with DSA colleagues, authored the paper. It highlights that the rapid transition to digital finance is outstripping Americans' financial literacy, particularly their understanding of risk. The paper also notes that these comprehension and access gaps disproportionately affect certain households. It concludes that regulatory advancements and financial education need to progress concurrently. The DSA's work aims to integrate emerging technology knowledge into policy discussions on digital assets and financial infrastructure. Their goal is to foster policy frameworks that both encourage innovation and uphold transparency, individual rights, and public well-being. The DSA is a nonprofit organization focused on advocating for ethical innovation in decentralized technologies. They conduct research, host educational events, and promote policies prioritizing public welfare and digital sovereignty. DC Fintech Week 2026 runs from October 13-16 in Washington, D.C.
