UK to Introduce Comprehensive Crypto Regulations in Early 2025
The Labour government aims to establish a unified framework governing cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and staking services.
- Economic Secretary to the Treasury Tulip Siddiq announced plans for a unified regulatory framework at the Tokenisation Summit in London.
- The new rules will address cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and staking services to eliminate legal uncertainties in the sector.
- Stablecoins will no longer fall under the existing payment services regulations, marking a significant shift in their treatment.
- The Labour government’s initiative follows delays under the previous Conservative government and aims to provide clarity for the crypto industry.
- The UK’s move comes as global attention on cryptocurrency regulation grows, with the U.S. also considering new roles to foster crypto industry ties.
