Crypto May Get Its Own Legal Lane in the UK

London’s convenient time zone, bustling city atmosphere, and impressive set of financial regulations have made it a top destination for banks and financial services companies to operate over the years. But the newness of crypto means there’s an international gap in the market for legal standards on digital assets. The Law Commission of England and Wales is an independent regulatory body that advises the UK government on reform. It’s been tasked with getting London ahead of the pack when it comes to regulating crypto. In this episode, Emily Nicolle, Crypto blogger for Bloomberg News, is in for Stacy-Marie Ishmael. She’s joined by Sarah Green and Matthew Kimber from the Law Commission to discuss the proposals they’ve made to Westminster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
