El Reino Unido reconoce las criptomonedas y los activos digitales
- El Reino Unido se une a la lista de países con un marco regulatorio para criptoactivos y activos digitales.
- El nuevo proyecto de ley enfatiza la transparencia regulatoria y el aporte democrático.
- El proyecto de ley posiciona al Reino Unido como un centro potencial para los servicios criptográficos.
El Reino Unido ha reconocido oficialmente las criptomonedas y los activos digitales al aprobar la Ley de Mercados y Servicios Financieros (FSMB). El proyecto de ley, que ha sido aprobado by King Charles, is similar to the European Union’s Market in Crypto Assets (MiCA) bill. It extends regulatory measures to cryptocurrencies and stablecoins and includes crypto trading as a regulated financial activity in the UK.
A statement from the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Andrew Griffith, remarked that the new bill is a vital part of the government’s plans to develop a sustainable, open, and advanced financial system.
This act is designed to modify financial services regulation to match the specific needs of the U.K. market and to fill the gap left by Brexit. Officials noted that the new bill will improve outcomes for both users and businesses in the UK and also boost the UK’s plans to become a global financial powerhouse.
Andrew Griffith dijo en un comunicado,
Esta histórica pieza legislativa nos da el control de nuestro libro de reglas de servicios financieros, por lo que apoya a las empresas y consumidores del Reino Unido e impulsa el crecimiento.
The UK’s decision to bring crypto trading under the scope of regulation comes months after it expressed uncertainty following the collapse of FTX, a major player in the industry.
At the time, Griffith advised the Treasury Committee not to associate the broader crypto market with the FTX scam but instead explore opportunities within the industry and provide a “well-calibrated regulatory response.”
The new bill provides room for a safe adoption of cryptocurrencies in the UK and calls for the creation of “sandboxes” to help financial markets adopt cutting-edge technologies like blockchain.
El proyecto de ley también promueve una supervisión regulatoria transparente y aportes democráticos y elimina restricciones de mercado innecesarias.
Europa ha visto un gran aumento en las actividades de criptomonedas desde que MiCA recibió aprobación, and the UK could possibly witness a similar experience. Despite having a smaller crypto community than the US, the UK’s regulatory clarity on digital assets places it above the United States in terms of acceptance.
