UK to Issue New Legislation for Stablecoins and Crypto Activities by June/July, says Economic Secretary
The U.K. government plans to introduce new legislation for stablecoins, as well as for crypto staking, exchange, and custody by June or July of this year. Economic Secretary Bim Afolami announced this at the Innovate Finance Global Summit on Monday, stating that the government aims to make the U.K. a global hub for crypto. The legislation will bring a range of crypto asset activities within the regulatory perimeter for the first time. The U.K. passed a financial markets bill in 2023, laying the foundation for regulated financial activities in the country, and the government has consulted with local regulators on its ambitions to regulate crypto.
