Howard Kennedy Podcast: Is Decentralisation The Next Evolution Of UK Financial Regulation? -By James Kaufmann

With the continued growth in both the range and reach of digital assets, how will financial regulation evolve? To James Kaufmann, there is only one answer; regulation needs to learn from crypto and become decentralised, agile and innovative.  Jack Dorsey (allegedly) said that life happens at intersections. We are at a crossroads. And if we aren’t careful in the UK, we will have let life pass us by. In this article, James summarises the issues and challenges facing those looking to regulate crypto in the UK. And argue that rather than fight it, regulators need to embrace and learn from crypto and distributed ledger technology.
