United Kingdom Treasury plans to introduce a regulatory framework for crypto assets and stablecoins by July to encourage local innovation in the fields of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. At the Innovate Finance Global Summit (IFGS) 2024, the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Bim Afolami, highlighted the government’s ongoing efforts to revamp the country’s payment environment.

Alongside focusing on fiat payment innovation, Afolami emphasized the importance of crypto regulations to remain globally competitive and shared the following statement: 
<blockquote> 
 “Speaking of real change, I know that the cornerstone of our position as a world leader in fintech is the establishment of our regulatory regime for crypto assets and stablecoins.” 
</blockquote> 
Afolami also highlighted the British government’s perspective on regulations aimed at finding the right balance between allowing firms to innovate and protecting consumers.

United Kingdom Treasury is working on final proposals concerning stablecoin and crypto staking, planning to present them by June or July. The minister added: 
<blockquote> 
 “Once implemented, a range of crypto asset activities, including operating in exchange for custody of customer assets and other items, will for the first time come under the scope of the regulatory environment.” 
</blockquote> 
Afolami also announced during the conference the establishment of a clear finance task force: 
<blockquote> 
 “The task force will prepare a clear set of recommendations by identifying the necessary commercial incentives for SME lending use cases in open finance, facilitated by the CFIT.” 
</blockquote> 
From April 26, UK authorities will be able to directly purchase crypto assets from exchanges and custody wallet providers. This law came into effect following amendments to the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, which expanded the National Crime Agency’s authority to seize and confiscate crypto assets linked to suspected illegal activities without the need for a comprehensive review.
