🚨 Last week, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England announced the opening of the Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS) for applications. CryptoUK welcomes this significant milestone, which helps solidify the UK's leadership in advancing financial technologies and evolving market frameworks. We are particularly pleased to see that several changes CryptoUK advocated for have been incorporated, including a reduction in the minimum capital requirements and the acceptance of non-GBP denominated assets. These adjustments not only foster innovation by encouraging entrepreneurial and start-up activities but also enhance the UK's appeal as a global financial hub. Despite this progress, CryptoUK continues to urge further leadership by advocating for the inclusion of stablecoins and e-money within the DSS. Enabling the use of these key payment innovations would provide an invaluable opportunity to test them within the UK market, keeping the nation at the cutting edge of digital finance. 🔗 Learn more here: https://shorturl.at/Ox8Ih #digitalassets #crypto #blockchain #innovation #sandbox #FCA #BankofEngland #advocacy
