CryptoUK 🇬🇧

The UK has a real opportunity to shape a world-leading framework for cryptoassets and stablecoins — but doing so will require the industry to come together and help policymakers navigate the complexity ahead. That message came through strongly during Lord Holmes’s keynote at City & Financial Global’s conference — The UK’s New Cryptoasset and Stablecoin Regulatory Regime 2025. He emphasised that while the UK is not too late, progress now depends on greater pace, sharper focus, and far more engagement from those building across the sector. With FCA rulemaking advancing, the Bank of England’s stablecoin consultation open until February, and parallel developments in the US, the next phase will be shaped by the quality and strength of industry input. Key issues — from backing-asset requirements and holding limits, to retail access and expectations for international firms — remain open and require real-world insight to get right. Holmes highlighted that there is “still much to play for” and that without coordinated involvement, the UK risks losing ground to jurisdictions moving faster or with greater alignment. At CryptoUK, our role is to make sure the industry’s voice is heard clearly and constructively. We represent a diverse and growing community of more than 100 organisations, working directly with government and regulators to support the development of an effective, competitive, and innovation-friendly UK digital asset regime.
