LNB NEWS: APPG for Crypto and Digital Assets Group says need for regulation is urgent

The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Crypto and Digital Assets Group has published a report calling for urgent regulation of the cryptocurrency and digital asset industry in the UK following its official inquiry into the sector.

Lexis®Library update: It says the growth of cryptocurrencies and digital assets without comprehensive regulation presents considerable risks.

The report, Realising Government’s Vision for the UK To Become a Global Hub for Cryptocurrency & Fintech Innovation, makes 53 recommendations to the government on a number of key areas including:

• the UK’s approach to regulation of cryptocurrency

• the role and current approach of UK regulators including the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Advertising Standards Agency

• the potential offered by Central Bank Digital Currencies

• risks faced in terms of consumer protection and financial crime
