Briefing for the Crypto & Digital Assets All-Party Parliamentary Group
Episode 20
In this episode, we present an audio version of Bitcoin Policy UK's briefing to the Crypto & Digital Assets All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), published in March 2024.
The briefing highlights the gap between the government’s stated ambition to make the UK a global hub for digital assets and the lived reality of businesses and consumers on the ground.
🔑 Key themes covered:
- UK banks restricting or banning lawful crypto transactions
- Businesses withdrawing products or leaving the UK altogether in response to FCA regulation
- Customer “frictions” imposed by FCA rules that push users offshore
- The striking contrast between FCA action against legitimate Bitcoin businesses and its refusal to act against a clear scam token
