UK Crypto Bill: Royal Assent Paves Way for Regulated Crypto and Stablecoins

The UK House of Lords in session discussing the upcoming crypto regulation bill.

UK Passes Bill Establishing Crypto and Stablecoins as Regulated Financial Activities

Britain has taken another step towards having a fully regulated crypto framework with the royal approval of the Financial Services and Markets Bill. On June 28, King Charles III granted Royal Assent to a landmark bill to “regain control of the financial services rulebook.” The Financial Services and Markets Bill 2023 was approved by the upper chamber of the UK parliament on June 19.

Rocket Boost for UK Economy

The Treasury described the bill as a “rocket boost” for the UK economy, which has been battered during the pandemic and its exit from Europe. It clarified that the bill “enables the regulation of crypto assets to support their safe adoption in the UK.” Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Andrew Griffith, said: “2023 is proving to be a banner year for reforming our financial services.”

Aiming to Support UK Businesses and Consumers

“This landmark piece of legislation gives us control of our financial services rulebook, so it supports UK businesses and consumers and drives growth.” During the formulation of the bill, amendments were made to include crypto as a regulated financial activity and to supervise crypto promotions and advertising. Stablecoins have also been included in the bill’s oversight of payment regulations.

Attracting Crypto Companies from US

The legislation could entice more crypto companies to the UK from the United States, which is currently trying to push them out by ‘carpet bombing’ the industry with lawsuits. Instead of rolling out its own regulatory framework, policymakers in America have been grappling over which agency will control the asset class.

Crypto Market Outlook

Crypto markets remain in consolidation, having gained just 1% on the day. As a result, total market capitalization remains around $1.21 trillion at the time of writing. Bitcoin prices have barely moved, and the asset was trading for $30,400 during the Friday morning Asian session. It has failed to break resistance at this level but has also yet to pull back again.
