Stand With Crypto UK has released a blueprint aimed at positioning the UK as a global leader in fintech, digital assets, and tokenization. The manifesto, spearheaded by Coinbase, advocates for clearer and more effective regulations within the cryptocurrency industry to drive innovation and growth.
With over 1 million supporters backing the initiative, Stand With Crypto recently made its debut in the UK at an event held at the House of Commons. This launch coincided with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calling for an election, setting the stage for the next government to embrace digital assets and fintech as key pillars of economic progress.
In its recommendations for the UK, Stand With Crypto emphasizes the need for a collaborative effort between industry and government to create a welcoming environment for fintech and crypto firms. The alliance proposes the establishment of an industry-government task force to lead the charge in developing a robust regulatory framework for crypto assets, ensuring consumer protection and oversight of stablecoins.
Additionally, the manifesto calls for regulations that recognize staking as a regulated activity, opening the door for broader retail participation in the crypto space. It also stresses the importance of decentralization across sectors and advocates for a comprehensive blockchain strategy to drive efficiency in public service delivery.
Furthermore, Stand With Crypto proposes a tokenization strategy for urban development and the creation of a sandbox for testing tokenized assets. The alliance also urges updates to the legal framework surrounding digital assets to clarify property rights and establish rules for crypto collateral.
