So it's again about Blockchain in general yes? Reading this I can not see any trojan horse that might help Bitcoin to become mainstream used. Would be happy if someone could correct me and say that I'm wrong.

EDIT: "...to develop open standards for the blockchain...". Can someone explain what does that mean?

“We are excited about the prospect of our members openly collaborating to deliver use cases to the wider community,” said Innovate Finance’s CEO Lawrence Wintermeyer. “If we can use the lab to develop open standards for the blockchain in financial services, we will be moving one step closer to accelerating the mass adoption of this breakthrough technology.”
