U.K. Plans To “Lead The Way” In Crypto

The U.K government says it wants to “lead the way” when it comes to crypto and its surrounding technology. The government has also set plans in place to ensure proper regulation of the crypto industry in the U.K.

The plan includes consulting on a “world-leading regime” that will ensure proper regulation of trades in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. It also wants to bring some stablecoins into the payment framework in the U.K. It will include allowing service providers and stablecoin issuers to “operate and grow” in the country.

The plans also include asking the Law Commission to look into the legal status of blockchain-based communities called decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Another area the government is interested in is exploring the application of blockchain technology in issuing debt instruments.
