The U.K. has unveiled “ambitious plans” to “robustly regulate” various crypto activities, while seeking to protect customers and grow its economy. In the next three months, British authorities will accept public feedback on the new regulatory proposals designed to govern digital assets like traditional finance.
The executive power in London has announced plans to regulate a wide range of crypto-related activities through new rules for the young industry that will be consistent with Britain’s regulations for the traditional financial sector.
A public consultation on the proposals has been launched and will continue until the end of April. In the published paper, the U.K. Treasury reaffirms its belief that “crypto technologies can have a profound impact across financial services.” The document provides an overview of the consultation work ahead.
