We were delighted to have CryptoUK’s NED Teana Baker-Taylor and Board Advisor Ian Taylor join Lord Ed Vaizey for an insightful session with staffers from the US Congress Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, alongside cross-party MPs and Lords. The discussion delved into the regulation of the digital assets ecosystem, focusing on consumer education, protection, inclusion, and the interplay between AI risks, benefits, and impacts. We wholeheartedly support Lord Vaizey’s position that “digital assets are here to stay - and as is always the case, the answer is to provide appropriate regulation that protects consumers and fosters innovation”. A huge thank you to Lord Vaizey for his visionary leadership, we look forward to continuing our collaboration to advance the digital assets industry. #CryptoUK #DigitalAssets #Innovation #Regulation #ConsumerProtection #AI #FinancialInclusion #PublicPrivatePartnership #Blockchain #Web3 #Advocacy #Collaboration Nathan Trickey Suzanne Morsfield, PhD CPA Su Carpenter Ioana S.

How will the new UK government approach the regulation of digital assets? A visit from staffers on the US Congress Financial Services sub-committee on Digital Assets, led by Allison Behuniak was an opportunity to discuss the regulatory debate in two important jurisdictions. I hosted the meeting and we were joined by three new Labour MPs with significant expertise - Callum A. who worked at London Stock Exchange ; Alan Gemmell MP former trade commissioner to India ; and Luke Charters who has worked at the Bank of England and at the Financial Conduct Authority. We discussed the regulatory approach in principle, as well as financial qualifications for advisers in the space, financial education for consumers, the use of regulatory sandboxes, and the impact of artificial intelligence. Digital assets are here to stay - and as is always the case, the answer is to provide appropriate regulation that protects consumers and fosters innovation. With the emergence of ETFs, and new governments in the UK and elsewhere, I suspect 2025 will see some significant progress in this area.

An opportunity to join our partner members Digital Pound Foundation, hosted by CryptoUK members CMS UK. Register your interest to attend via the link in the post below.
The Bank of England (#BoE) is actively exploring the introduction of a retail #digitalPound Central Bank Digital Currency (#CBDC). In the course of its public engagement, through discussions and consultations, #privacy has emerged as a key concern from a wide range of stakeholders and the general public, and is reinforced by often-sensational media coverage. Big Brother style scenarios are painted in which the Government can monitor us, control what we do and how we spend our #money. But how valid are these concerns in practice? Will the #government and #centralbank be able to track CBDC users on a transaction-by-transaction basis – and will they even want to? To what extent do features such as #programmability pose a challenge to civil liberties? Can privacy-enhancing technologies and concepts such as privacy by design help avert this sort of doomsday scenario from coming to pass? What is the role of #digitalidentity in a #digitalmoney world? How are other countries’ CBDC experiments and designs handling privacy and what can we learn from them? And beyond this – is there potential for privacy and digital identity to become embedded into a CBDC architecture in such a way that they actually bring wider social and economic benefits and opportunities? On Wednesday 17 July, we'll be hosting an evening of #networking and #debate in #London alongside Digital Pound Foundation member, CMS UK. During the evening, we will dive into these issues headfirst – and in far more depth than the media headlines – with participants ranging from the sceptical to the optimistic! Opening remarks will be provided by Chris Glennie (CMS UK), followed up by a fascinating panel moderated by Helen Disney, entitled "The Great Debate: Central Bank Digital Currencies, Privacy and Identity" - featuring David Rennie (Digital Pound Foundation), Erica Stanford (CMS UK), Thomas Hawkins (Accenture), and Freddie New (Bitcoin Policy Institute). Due to the size of the venue we only have 100 tickets available, therefore the #event and #networking is strictly invite-only. If you didn't receive an invite from us and you would like to attend, please register your interest on our website 👉 https://buff.ly/3RMmbus
