Stablecoins are no longer a future concept. They are increasingly being discussed by policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, payment providers, and technology firms as part of the next evolution of financial services. That's why we're pleased to be supporting Stablecoins Unblocked on 1 July in London, bringing together experts from across the ecosystem to explore the role stablecoins could play in payments, financial markets, tokenisation, and the broader digital economy. The event will feature discussions on regulation, consumer protection, geopolitical developments, institutional use cases, tokenised finance infrastructure, and the growing importance of non-USD stablecoins in a rapidly changing global landscape. CryptoUK's Executive Director, Su Carpenter, will also be joining the programme to share her perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing stablecoin adoption in the UK.

"Wrench attacks leave crypto billionaires living in fear" - the title of a recent article in the @Telegraph, once again highlighting the growing threat of so-called "wrench attacks" against crypto holders, with reports of kidnappings, extortion, and physical violence targeting individuals believed to hold significant value in digital assets. The increasing number of mainstream media reports on this issue serve as an important reminder that security in crypto extends beyond wallets, passwords, and online threats. Personal security, privacy, and good operational security practices are becoming increasingly important considerations for anyone involved in the digital asset ecosystem. At the end of last year, CryptoUK hosted a webinar with the Metropolitan Police exploring the realities of wrench attacks, how criminals identify potential victims, and the practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your family. The discussion covers topics including social media oversharing, personal data exposure, common attack vectors, and the measures that can reduce the risk of becoming a target. If you haven't watched it yet, we encourage anyone involved in cryptoassets to take the time to do so: buff.ly/RTMdtus If you're a paid subscriber to The Telegraph, you can find their article here: buff.ly/HPNANOH

CASE STUDY 🇬🇧 | This Latest Sanction Reveals Why Crypto Compliance Tools May Be Loosing Their Edge For years, blockchain analytics firms have sold regulators, exchanges, and banks on a simple promise: illicit money can be tracked. But recent controversy surrounding UK sanctions against crypto exchange highlights a growing problem in the industry: compliance systems may become less effective when they cast too wide a net.

Los defensores de crypto en Reino Unido lanzan campaña contra bancos que bloquean transferencias a exchanges, reporta CoinTelegraph. Esta movida afecta directamente el acceso de usuarios británicos al mercado cripto cuando instituciones financieras tradicionales cortan operaciones sin previo aviso. La presión regulatoria empuja a los bancos a actuar como policías del sistema, limitando la libertad financiera de los ciudadanos. #CryptoUK #Banking

Great breakdown of the ADAN Barometer! How does CryptoUK think the current adoption trends in Europe will impact UK regulation in 2026–2027? Especially interested in stablecoins and institutional flow

I found myself in Crypto Magazine. So naturally, I did the only reasonable thing… I bought every copy in the King’s Lynn area 😂 650,000 plus readers per issue. Snoop Dogg on the front cover. Me on pages 16-18 talking about CARF. Mad sentence to type. CARF is coming. Crypto platforms will be reporting more data. HMRC will have more information. And a lot of people still have no idea what is about to land. Very cool moment personally. Very serious topic professionally. Grab a copy if you can find one. Unless you live near King’s Lynn. Because I may have already ruined that for you. #CryptoTax #CryptoMagazine #CARF #HMRC #CryptoUK

Last month, CryptoUK proudly co-hosted an event alongside @BCBcrypto and @adan_asso exploring the findings from ADAN’s fifth annual Barometer on Crypto Adoption in Europe. The report highlighted several important themes shaping the European digital assets landscape, including growing mainstream awareness, increasing institutionalisation of the market, and the continued rise of stablecoin utility for payments and transactions. The discussion also reinforced the importance of clear and proportionate regulatory frameworks, particularly as adoption trends begin to diverge between jurisdictions. The full report can be found here: buff.ly/4kGbRPH We would like to extend a huge thank you to both @BCBcrypto and @adan_asso for all of the hard work that went into organising the event. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate and to meet with so many fantastic industry experts from across the digital assets ecosystem.

The Crypto and Digital Assets All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), supported by CryptoUK as secretariat, recently wrote to HM Treasury and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to raise concerns around transitional arrangements and regulatory readiness ahead of the UK’s new cryptoasset regime. Following extensive engagement with industry, the APPG highlighted strong support for the UK’s ambition to become a global digital assets hub but also consistent concerns around the scale, pace, and complexity of transition into the new framework. The APPG also noted that firms will be required to move from the current AML regime to full FCA authorisation, meeting significantly higher standards across governance, financial resilience, risk management, safeguarding, and consumer protection, requiring substantial operational and financial change within a relatively short timeframe. In its letter, the APPG Co-Chairs Gurinder Singh Josan CBE, MP and Lord Ed Vaizey asked whether transitional or phased implementation measures could support a smoother transition, while also seeking clarity on FCA resourcing and readiness to manage authorisations and supervision effectively from day one. HM Treasury, in its response, said the current timeline “strikes the right balance”, with firms given over a year to secure authorisation ahead of the regime going live in October 2027. It also highlighted FCA support measures and ongoing investment in regulatory capability. The FCA said it is actively considering transitional arrangements and continues to prepare for the volume and complexity of applications, while building specialist capability and supporting firms through engagement, guidance, and its upcoming Pre-Application Support Service. The APPG will continue to work closely with industry, Government and regulators to help ensure the UK’s crypto regime is robust, workable, and supports growth while maintaining high standards.

Got an HMRC crypto letter? 👀 Do not ignore it. HMRC crypto nudge letters are becoming more common. But here is the important bit. A letter does not automatically mean HMRC’s assumed tax position is correct. It means you need to check your records properly. 🚨 Do not guess 🚨 Do not only check your exchange balance 🚨 Do not assume no cash out means no tax 🚨 Do not rely on incomplete data 🚨 Do not wait until January You need to review sells, swaps, staking, airdrops, NFTs, DeFi and wallet transfers. If there is an error, the route to fix it depends on the tax year and the facts. An HMRC letter is not the problem. Ignoring it is. #CryptoTax #HMRC #UKTax #CryptoInvestor #Bitcoin #CapitalGainsTax #MynaL2 #CryptoUK

In this week's newsletter, we shared that CryptoUK is preparing responses to two important consultations that will help shape the future of digital assets in the UK: 🔹FCA / Bank of England Call for Input: The Future of Tokenisation: buff.ly/NoP9o8W 🔹European Commission consultation on the review of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation: buff.ly/BZH0RjM Both consultations represent significant opportunities for industry stakeholders to contribute to the development of future regulatory frameworks, market structure, and tokenisation policy across the UK and EU. CryptoUK is committed to ensuring our responses reflect the views and expertise of our members and the wider industry. If your organisation would like to contribute to either consultation response, we'd welcome your input. You can get in touch via our website: buff.ly/WENfLvt
