UK to Cooperate With Crypto Industry on Legislation for Digital Securities
Summary
The UK government plans to collaborate with the financial services and technology sectors to establish legislation for digital securities, aiming to become a hub for the crypto industry. The proposed digital securities sandbox (DSS), which allows companies to test new products under regulatory supervision, has been well-received. The DSS will be regulated by the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority, and will enable businesses to test the distributed ledger technology used in crypto to digitize traditional securities. The government intends to include assets such as debt, equity, and money-market instruments within the sandbox's scope.
